Distribution and influencing factors of soil selenium and iodine in Limushan-Wanling, Qiongzhong area

Qiongzhong Limushan-Wanling area is located in the middle of Hainan Island, where has an abundance of selenium-rich and iodine-rich soil resources.The distribution characteristics of Se and I contents were analyzed based on the analysis results of soil samples in the topsoil (0-20 cm), middle-layer-soil(80-100 cm), and deep-soil (180-200 cm) of the study area.The correlation characteristics of Se and I in soil and their relationship with elevation potentially indicate that the input of rainfall to soil Se and I is a key factor leading to the enrichment of Se and I.By analyzing the correlation and change law between the contents of Se, I and the contents of pH, soil organic matter, Al2O3 and Fe2O3 in top, middle and deep layer soil, the enrichment and migration of Se and I in the vertical section of soil in the study area was summarized.These results can provide scientific basis for the efficient use of local high-quality land resources and provide new evidence for the study of soil Se source and migration.
