Abstract:In this paper, chemical test and analysis of three typical nutrient elements, N, P and K in typical soil in Licheng district of Ji'nan city are selected. The geochemical background values of available elements in shallow soil and their distribution characteristics in different types of soil are studied. It is showed that the soil quality in this area is good, the available content of elements is consistent with the overall order of the total content, and the availability of different elements is very different. The element availability of five soil types is different. The available contents of N, P, K and availability in meadow cinnamon soil and cinnamon soi are obviously higher than other soil types. The content of N is the highest in cinnamon soil, but the availability is the lowest. Total K, available K and the availability of brown soil are the lowest. Through analysis on the influence of the total quantity, pH value and organic matter content, it is found that the content and total quantity of the organic matter are important reasons for the differences of element availability in different soil types, but the influence of pH value is little.
