Abstract:

The concentration and their balance of nutrient elements in arable soils are of important influence on crop growth. Identifying the temporal and spatial change of nutrient elements in soils is a key task to monitor geo-chemical change of land quality. The temporal and spatial variation of nutrient elements in soils at the north of Longyou County was recognized through statistical and spatial analysis based on the two sets of data respectively obtained in 2008 and 2014 after eliminating systemic analytical bias. The results showed that the contents of N and K2O in soils decreased and the net relative accumulation rates were -4.40% and -13.81% respectively during the past six years. The variation of B and P concentration in soils was not obvious. The accumulation rates of different nutrient elements in soils were mainly controlled by the types of soil and land use. For example, N content in paddy fields showed an obvious trend of enrichment but depletion in woodland, vegetable fields and dry land. P concentration in vegetable fields, garden fields and dry land presented significant enrichment, while in paddy fields shows a trend of depletion.

Key words: soil geochemical survey, plant nutrient element, temporal and spatial variation, north of Longyou, Zhejiang Province
