Abstract:Taking Se in soil of Nanling area as the main research object, combining with the results of Se analysis of a small number of crops, the content and distribution characteristics of Se in the area has been identified In the paper. The standard of Serich soil in the area is preliminarily defined, and the correlation among Se in the soil, effective Se and heavy metals has been discussed. It will provide a basis for the promotion and application of Serich soil resources. As showed by the results, the content of Se in the study soil is 0.01~0.98mg/kg, and the average content is 0.32mg/kg. Se in the study area is generally distributed in accordance with background content, and a small amount of low background soil distributed along the Qingyi River coast. The content has a certain relationship with human activities, soil types and geological units. Serich soil in the area is 152.79km2. It is proved that the area has certain development potential. Se in the soil is often associated with heavy metals, the correlation between effective Se and heavy metals is not obvious, and the effective Se will increase with the increase of Se content.
