Preface
The changing environment leading to environmental issues is challenging the world
for its sustainability. The theme of the 16th Meeting of the International Humic
Substances Society (IHSS 16) is of special significance for understanding how and
to what extent the various environmental processes of soil nutrients and pollutants
at micro- and macro-levels are affected by humic substances (HS), natural organic
matter (NOM), naturally occurring and engineered nanoparticles, and biochar.
Further advance on the frontiers of knowledge on this subject matter requires
scientists to cross disciplines and scales to integrate understanding of processes in
the changing environment, ranging in scale from the formation, structure, and char-
acteristics of HS and NOM, environmental mineral-organism-humus-water-air
interactions, to the impact on the globe and humankind. These fundamental inter-
active processes have enormous impacts on both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem
biodiversity, health, productivity and services, and human welfare as a whole.
Carbon is a major component of HS, NOM, and soils. Globally, the mass of soil
organic carbon is more than that of carbon in living matter and in the atmosphere
combined. However, the CO2 emission from the soil to the atmosphere is the
primary mechanism of soil carbon loss. Agricultural practices and land use patterns
contribute substantially to the total anthropogenic CO2 emission. Soil organo-
mineral-microbe interactions affect carbon turnover and sequestration. Our under-
standing on the formation, structure, and characteristics of HS and NOM and on the
role of HS and NOM in carbon transformation, dynamics, and sequestration in the
environment would contribute to developing innovative management strategies
to minimize its impact on climate change.
Humic substances and soil organic matter are vital to maintaining soil fertility
and closely related to biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, environmental toxic
elements, and anthropogenic organics. Decomposition of HS and NOM supplies
both nutrients and energy for plants and microbial organisms. The interactions at
the organic-inorganic complexes and organo-mineral-microbe interfaces pro-
foundly affect the physicochemical and biological processes such as migration,
transformation, and dissipation, thereby affecting the availability of nutrients and
the toxicity of toxic elements and anthropogenic organics. However, there are
v
knowledge gaps on how and to what extent the processes are affected by HS and
NOM. The dynamics, transformations, bioavailability, and toxicity of toxic
elements and anthropogenic organics should be influenced enormously by the
chemistry and transformations of HS and NOM.
Nanoparticles are discrete atom assemblies at nanometer (10�9 m) scale.
Biochar is a carbon-rich product produced from any source of biomass by pyrolysis.
The biogeochemical and ecological impacts of nanoparticles and the characteristic
and function of biochar in the environment are some of the fastest-growing areas of
research today, with not only vital scientific but also environmental, economic, and
societal consequences. Little is known about the distribution, formation, transfor-
mation, and structural and surface chemistry of naturally occurring (HS and NOM)
and engineered nanoparticles and their biogeochemical and ecological impacts.
Extensive investigations are necessary to improve the understanding for the
functions and mechanisms of biochar in the environment.
Natural and commercial HS have been applied in agriculture as organic fertil-
izer, soil ameliorator, and/or crop growth stimulator. They have also been used in
industry and for wastewater treatment. However, there exist great knowledge gaps
on the effectiveness and environmental consequences of the applied HS. The
research on this subject matter should, thus, be an issue of intense interest for
years to come.
The objective of the conference is to provide a forum for the interactions and
communication of chemists, microbiologists, and physicists, with allied scientists
including pure chemists, biologists, environmental scientists, soil scientists, water
scientists, and ecologists, to address the current state of the art on “Functions of
Natural Organic matter in the Changing Environment.” The main sessions of the
conference were the following: (1) formation, structure, and characteristics of HS
and NOM; (2) HS/NOM and carbon sequestration; (3) HS/NOM and biogeo-
chemical cycling of nutrients; (4) HS/NOM and the environmental processes of
toxic elements and anthropogenic organics; (5) HS/NOM and naturally occurring
and engineered nanoparticles; (6) HS/NOM, biodiversity, and ecosystem health;
(7) HS/NOM in water and water treatment; (8) characterization and function of
biochar in the environment; and (9) industrial products and application of HS.
Twenty-one distinguished scientists worldwide were invited to give keynote
speeches in the nine sessions of the conference.
The conference was held in Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, on September
9–14, 2012, on the occasion of the 30th Anniversary of IHSS. Zhejiang University,
founded in 1897, is a comprehensive research university with distinctive features and
a national as well as international impact. Research at Zhejiang University spans 12
academic disciplines, covering philosophy, economics, law, education, literature,
history, arts, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, management, and so on.
With 7 faculties and 37 colleges/schools, Zhejiang University has 14 primary and
21 secondary national leading academic disciplines. According to Essential Science
Indicator (ESI) ranking about 22 disciplines, Zhejiang University ranks among the
top 1 % in 14 disciplines and comes in 4th among the list of the top 100 academic
institutions of the world. At present, there are a total of more than 44,000 full-time
vi Preface
students enrolled at Zhejiang University, including approximately 13,800 graduate
students, 7,700 Ph.D. candidates, and 22,600 undergraduates. In addition, there are
about 2,700 international abroad students currently studying in Zhejiang University.
The participants of this conference were from five continents: Asian delegates
from China, India, Iran, Israel, Japan, Mongolia, Pakistan, the Republic of Korea,
and Turkey; European scientists from Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic,
Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Norway, Poland, Portugal,
Russia, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, the UK, and Ukraine; Australasian
participants from both Australia and New Zealand; delegates from Argentina, Brazil,
Canada, and the USA in the Americas; and representatives from Egypt and Nigeria
on the African continent.
It was the first time to hold such a large-scale international conference of
International Humic Substances Society in China. It is hoped that the conference
would lead to identification of gaps in knowledge and as such to provide future
research directions and promote research on the characterization, function, and
application of HS in environment, agriculture, and industry. This is expected to lead
to advancing the frontiers of knowledge on biophysicochemical processes related to
HS and NOM in the environmental systems and their biogeochemical and ecologi-
cal impacts and also promoting education in this extremely important and challeng-
ing area of science for years to come, which is also expected to contribute toward
the international advancement of environmental chemistry and its impacts on the
terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
The book of proceedings is composed of extended abstracts that present new
ideas, findings, methods, and experience on the nine sessions of the conference.
All the extended abstracts have been subject to peer review by external referees, by
International Scientific Committee members of the conference, and by the editors
of the proceedings. On behalf of the organizing committee, we would like to thank
members of the International Scientific Committee and the authors for their invalu-
able collaboration. Special thanks are extended to our sponsors: International
Humic Substances Society (IHSS), Zhejiang University, National Natural Science
