[Analysis and Evaluation of Heavy Metal Pollution in Farmland Soil in China：A Meta-analysis].

In this study, a Meta-analysis was used to investigate the pollution status of eight farmland soil heavy metal elements (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in China. Meanwhile, their spatiotemporal changes and differences between different types of cultivated land were explored. The research data were chosen from 449 relevant literature data collected by CNKI and Web of Science from 2005 to 2021, and the Meta-analysis used a weighted method based on "sampling numbers", "study area", and "standard deviation". The results showed that the national average values of the eight heavy metal elements in Chinese farmland soil were ω (As)11.00 mg·kg-1 , ω (Cd)0.350 2 mg·kg-1 , ω (Cr)62.91 mg·kg-1 , ω (Cu)28.87 mg·kg-1 , ω (Hg)0.135 1 mg·kg-1 , ω (Ni)28.91 mg·kg-1 , ω (Pb)34.67 mg·kg-1 ,and ω (Zn)90.24 mg·kg-1 . Compared with their background values, all elements except As accumulated to some extent, and Cd and Hg accumulated the most, exceeding their background values by 177.9% and 340.3%, respectively. The research results indicated that Cd and Hg were the main pollution elements in farmland soil in China, and their accumulation was mainly influenced by human activities. In terms of their temporal and spatial changes, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the eastern coast were the most concentrated areas of pollution cases, and the pollution center shifted from the middle reaches of the Yangtze River to the southwest over time. The accumulation of heavy metals in farmland soil was affected by crop planting types, and the accumulation of heavy metals in vegetable and paddy soil was significantly greater than that in other cultivated land types.
