In this study, soil samples from Lei bamboos (Phyllostachys praecox C. D. Chu et C. S. Chao) with different planting years from Taihuyuan Town, Lin’an City, Zhejiang Province, was collected to investigate the changes of soil basic properties. Results showed that with the increase of planting time, soil pH decreased greatly, soil organic matter and total nitrogen increased significantly after 5 years, soil total phosphorus and cation exchangeable capacity increased slowly, but soil total potassium showed a decreasing trend, meanwhile, soil available nutrients increased rapidly.
