Abstract:
      In order to reveal the spatial heterogeneity and spatial structure characteristics of soil heavy metals, a multiscale analysis of Cd content in soil sampling data of 2007 in Beijing's Shunyi District was conducted. Using semi-variance analysis and scale analysis of variance methods, we quantitatively characterized the spatial hierarchy structure and feature scales of the spatial variations of soil Cd. The results showed that the Cd variation coefficient was 44.9% in farmland soil of Shunyi District, Beijing, and the coefficient of variation of soil Cd was moderate. The soil Cd content had strong spatial autocorrelation with a spatial multiscale structure; approximately 3.5 km and 9.6 km were two feature scales of Cd. These feature scales, which were affected by land-use intensity at small scales, were mainly influenced by soil type at large scales. The multiscale analysis method can quantitatively analyze the spatial variability of heavy metals in farmland soil and identify the dominant factors at different scales.
