Abstract:
The results of 229 analyses on soil profiles, soil total fluorine and soil water soluble fluorine showed that there was no large difference on soil total fluorine among the 5 geographical areas of Anhui Province. The mean contents of soil total fluorine in A horizon and C horizon of the 5 areas were 522 mg/kg and 604 mg/kg, respectively. However, significant differences were existing in the contents of water soluble fluorine in soils of the different areas. An obvious decreasing tendency from north to south of the province on soil water soluble fluorine was observed. The results also showed that there was no correlation between the contents of soil total fluorine and soil water soluble fluorine.
