The soil organic matter content is overall lower, and its spatial differences are also significant. Soil alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen, exchangeable calcium and exchangeable magnesium content are at a medium level, but the soil lacks available phosphorus and available potassium.[Conclusions] The differences in pH within the research area might be related to parent materials distribution and fertilizer applications. The main reasons for the low soil organic matter content are inadequate and uneven input of organic fertilizer and high-temperate rainy climate. The lack of soil phosphorus and potassium is mainly caused by unreasonable fertilizer application and climatic and terrain factors.展开更多
