Abstract:Based on the data from 30 long-term monitoring points, the changes of soil nutrients in Hangzhou were discussed under the differences of soil types, culture crops and fertilization practices. The contents of organic matter, total nitrogen, available nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium were 23.38 g/kg, 0.71 g/kg, 83.70 mg/kg, 85.05 mg/kg and 5.33 mg/kg and increased by 79.0%, 40.76%, 54.35%, 88.50% and 2.23% respectively than 7 years ago. The increase of nutrients correlated significantly with soil texture and culture crops, generally, the more clays in soils, the higher contents of organic matter, total nitrogen and available nutrients, whereas, the nutrient contents in the coarser-texture soils and the paddy soils were lower. Finally the effective measures for increasing soil fertility in Hangzhou were proposed.
