- Abstract:
-
The content and distribution characteristics of soil heavy metals such as Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cr in wetlands of Heima River wetlands around Qinghai Lake were studied. The results showed that the average contents of Cu, Cr, Pb and Zn in top soil of 0-10 cm depth were 16.38± 4.95 mg/kg, 65.46±7.34 mg/kg, 14.26±4.28 mg/kg, 46.35±7.27 mg/kg, respectively. In the horizontal direction to perpendicular the shore, the high contents of Cu, Cr, Pb and Zn appeared in the high water level and terrestrial area in wetlands, while low contents appeared in water and land transition zone. In the soil profile direction, different heavy metals showed different distribution.Cu presented a surface aggregation; distribution of Zn showed significant leaching and accumulation trends to soil profile; Pb increased first and then decreased along the soil profile; distribution of Cr showed a significant surface aggregation. Comparison among these elements showed the quality of soil in the study area maintained a good natural level. Cu, Zn, Pb and Cr exhibit a significant positive correlation with each other, which indicated that there was a homology among them in the study area.
