BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. With the methods of network and systematic layers, 123 typical sampling sections were selected and soil environmental background values for 61 elements were determined in the whole region of Fujian province. The results show that the soil background values for 15 rare-earth elements in Fujian are higher than those in the country, that the background values for sulphophilic and siderophilic elements in Fujian are also higher compared with those of the same elements in the country and that the background value of Se in the soil of Fujian is 0.55 mg/kg, 2.5 times as high as the level of the country. The major factor affecting soil environmental background values in the province are analyzed and suggestions for reasonable development of soil resource proposed.
