本文探讨了闽南地区土壤中９种重金属元素（Ｃｕ、Ｚｎ、Ｎｉ、Ｃｏ、Ｐｂ、Ｃｒ、Ｃｄ、Ｍｎ、Ｆｅ）的地球化学特征。结果表明，不同元素在土壤中的迁移富集趋势有显著差异，根据其含量的相关性可分为３组；土壤重金属含量水平深受母质的影响，也与土壤机械组成、吸附交换性能等理化性质密切相关；重金属元素在土壤中普遍发生富集，在剖面中有垂直分异现象；它们在不同单元景观间的地球化学对比性不明显。本文还探讨了土壤中重金属元素含量的估测和研究成果在土壤发生分类中的应用等问题。 This paper discussed the geochemical characteristics of nine heavy metal elements (Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Pb, Cr, Cd, Mn and Fe) in the soil of the southern Fujian. The results showed that there were significant differences in the migration and accumulation of different elements in soils. According to the correlations, the content of heavy metals in soils could be divided into three groups. The content of heavy metals in soils was influenced by the parent material, and also with physicochemical properties such as soil mechanical composition and adsorption-exchange properties There are close correlations between them. The heavy metal elements are generally enriched in the soil and vertically differentiated in the profiles. Their geochemical contrasts between the different unit landscapes are not obvious. This article also discusses the estimation of heavy metal elements in soils and the application of the research results in the soil classification.
