Abstract:In order to study the spatial distribution characteristics of typical pollutants of soil in gold mining area, 28 soil samples had been collected according to the method of grid in Jiapigou gold mine in April, 2012. Indexes of pH, organic matter, available N, available P and total mercury content of soil(TSM)had been determined and then the linear relationships among them had been analyzed, simultaneously. The results showed that in the mining area the spatial distribution of the organic matters appeared the frequency of wide fluctuations in two orders of magnitude and it maybe relate to the phenomenon of all kinds of soil erosion processes in the area. Moreover, the contents of available N and available P of soil were relatively small in spatial variation and there was a certain positive linear relationship between them, which was inferred to application of fertilizers. In addition, the TSM in the mining area ranged from 0.094mg/kg to 0.136mg/kg,which indicated that soil mercury pollution slow down obviously and no linear relationships between that with pH, organic matter, available N and available P.
