Investigation into the Geological Origin and Influencing Factors of Selenium-Enriched Soil in Licheng, Jinan, Shandong Province

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The geochemical classification of soils is crucial for the scientific development and utilization of land, particularly in the investigation of selenium-rich soils, which plays a guiding role in the cultivation layout of local selenium-rich agricultural products. This study involves the collection and analysis of over 6000 samples of soil, water quality, and crops from the entire area of Licheng District in Jinan City, Shandong Province. By analyzing the data in conjunction with the geochemical classification standards for soil nutrient levels, soil environmental geochemical levels, and comprehensive soil quality geochemical levels, we delineated a distribution area of selenium-rich soils covering 192.26 km2 in Licheng District, providing a bibliographic basis for the scientific planning of agriculture and forestry in the region.
