摘要
Mean concentrations of 62 elements, pH, organic matter and grain size have been computed for soil samples from 4,095 locations throughout mainland China. The compositions of geochemical data between mainland China and the conterminous United States and between Tibet and Alaska show a close correspondence for most elements determined. These geochemical data may reveal evidence of regional variations in the abundance of elements in soils. In general, the sequence for metal content in samples of soil orders was: Lithosol > Cold-highland soils > Inceptisol > Aridisol = Mollisol > Ultisol > Alfisol > Oxisol. This trend was apparently a result of climatic influence on soil genesis, with the Oxisols (high rainfall areas with highly weathered and highly leached soils) yielding the lowest elemental mean values. However, the highest mean values of most trace elements in the Lithosols were a result of its relatively high indigenous elemental contents as well as chemical properties of the bedrock from which the soils were formed.
