Abstract:

Heilongjiang Province is considered to be a region with severe selenium deficiency in China, and the distribution of selenium in soil is extremely uneven. Large-scale selenium-enriched soil was first discovered through agricultural geological surveys in recent years. Through the statistical analysis of soil selenium content in the farming area of Hailun County, the distribution characteristics and influencing factors of soil selenium were discussed, which provided a scientific basis for rational development of local selenium-rich resources. 15,608 surface soil samples of 0-20 cm depth and 976 deep soil samples of 150-200 cm depth were collected in the study area, and chemical indicators such as total selenium content and selenium morphology were analyzed. The soil selenium content in the study area was evaluated according to the national selenium-enriched soil standard. The selenium content in the surface soil was between 0.02-0.87 mg·kg-1 with the average content 0.29 mg·kg-1. 93.87% of the soil was selenium-sufficient soil, and 4.9% of the soil was selenium-rich soil. There was almost no potentially selenium deficient or deficient soil. The average content of selenium in different soil types from high to low: paddy soil>black soil>meadow soil>aeolian sandy soil>dark brown soil. Relevant analysis results showed that the main factors affecting soil selenium content in the study area were soil pH, organic matter and soil parent material. The main forms of selenium in soil were organic-bound forms. Total selenium, organic matter and pH were also the main factors affecting the selenium availability.

Key words: soil selenium, parent material, selenium form, available selenium, Hailun County, Heilongjiang Province
