| Abstract | This study analyzed the water-soluble sulfate (S-SO4) and total sulfur (S-T) concentrations and their isotopic signatures (delta S-34(SO4) and delta S-34(T)) in needles of Pinus massoniana Lamb collected from Guiyang (seriously affected by acid rain) and Yunnan areas (acid rain did not occur), China SW. The results indicated that the S-SO4 concentrations in needles of Pinus massoniana Lamb collected from several Chinese areas were found to be significantly correlated to ambient sulfur dioxide (R (2) = 0.9176, p = 0.01), showing that S-SO4 concentrations in needles were more reliable to indicate atmospheric sulfur. The average delta S-34(SO4) (-7.2 aEuro degrees) and delta S-34(TS) (-5.1 aEuro degrees) in needles in Guiyang areas were significantly lower than those in Yunnan areas (+3.9 and +5.7 aEuro degrees, respectively), which were in accordance with the lower delta S-34 of coals in Guiyang areas than in Yunnan areas. The delta S-34(SO4) and delta S-34(TS) in needles became less positive with a distance from a plant combusted S-34-enriched coals while for another plant combusted S-34-depleted coals, more positive was observed. These results indicated that delta S-34(SO4) in needles was also a good indicator of atmospheric sulfur sources. A very small difference between delta(34) S-T and delta(34) S-SO4 for most needle samples suggested that little isotopic fractionation accompanies sulfur assimilation processes. |
