Abstract:The massive data obtained based on the largescale land quality geochemical survey is of great significance for the study of geochemical background value at the district and county level. Based on the statistics of surface soil analysis data obtained from Dongchangfu district, Chiping district and Dong'e county in Liaocheng city, geochemical background values of surface soil indexes based on geological units, soil type units, and administrative area units have been obtained and compared with Liaocheng city and Shandong province. It is showed that the distribution of most indexes in the survey area is generally uniform, whereas the contents of Hg, S, Se, I, Cd and P have relatively large changes. Comparing with background values of Liaocheng city and Shandong province, background values of the whole area are mainly roughly equivalent or higher. There are 14 and 16 indicators higher than those of the whole city and the whole province respectively. Only Al2O3 is slightly lower than that of the whole province. The geochemical background values of Quaternary Shanxian formation, Juye formation and Yutai formation in the survey area are consistent with the whole area. Heituhu formation and the Huanghe formation have 7 indexes lower than the whole survey area, and only CaO of Huanghe group is slightly higher than the whole area. The geochemical background values of most indexes in fluvoaquic soil, detidal soil, salinized fluvoaquic soil, meadow saline soil and alkaline fluvoaquic soil type units in the survey area are consistent with those of the whole area. The element I is slightly higher in detidal soil,and slightly lower in meadow saline soil and salinization tidal soil than that in the whole region. The element S is slightly higher in meadow saline soil than in the whole area. There are 21 and 8 indexes in meadow aeolian sandy soil and alluvial soil respectively, which are lower than those in the whole region, and only CaO is slightly higher than that in alluvial soil. The background values of administrative division units in Dongchangfu district and Chiping district are consistent with the background values of the whole area,whereas in Dong'e county,only elements P and I are slightly lower than the whole area, and CaO is slightly higher than the whole area.
