Topsoil (0-20 cm) properties of five core tourism-spots were studied in Wuyishan Scenery District in 2008. This paper researched effects of tourist activities on soil quality by the integrated soil quality index. The results showed that: (1) The bulk density averagely increases by 43.0%, but the noncapillary porosity, capillary porosity, total porosity, the max-water-holding, min-water-holding and capillary water-holding of all the samples averagely decrease by 31.4%, 27.2%, 28.7%, 26.6%, 26.9% and 30.8% in comparison with the contrasting spots. (2) Due to the impacts of tourist activities, the pH of soi1 increases in some samples and decreases in others; the decreased rates of soil organic matters, total nitrogen, available nitrogen and total phosphorus are relatively greater and respectively are 6.05%, 49.74%, 56.71% and 42.75%; the change rates of total potassium, available potassium and available phosphorus have not any significant regular, up or down. (3) The soil quality integrated indexes of different tourism-spots were ranked as follows: big-red robe (0.601)>water curtain cave (0.382)>king peak (0.327)>a line sky (0.264)>tian-you peak (0.238).The soil quality levels of tourism-spots are influenced by the intensity of tourist activities and some suggestions are proposed to realize the sustainable development of tourism.
