Abstract:In order to investigate impacts of abrupt change in landscape on soil environmental characteristics in soil profiles in Nanping Technology and Industry Zone, Zhuhai City, soil samples, gathered from 5 profiles to a depth of 250cm at 50~60cm intervals, were analyzed. The results indicate that pH values and contents of heavy metals (As, Hg, Cu, and Pb) varied distinctly along the profile and the variation along the profile also differed sharply with the site of the profile. Profiles SP-A and SP-E appear acidic in the upper layers and alkaline in the lower soil layers. The contents of As, Hg and Cu showed the same increasing trend from the top to the bottom in all the profiles. But Pb content in Profiles SP-A, SP-B and SP-C appeared in a reserve trend. Though the contents were low and changed little along the profiles, BHC and DDT could be detected in all samples with mean values being 9.77×10-3mg/kg and 8.09×10-3mg/kg, respectively.
