The geochemical characteristics of the major elements in the black soil profiles and their ratios are closely related to the formation and development of the soil. They reflect the degree of the formation and development of soil as well as the environmental changes in the provenance areas. Moreover, they are important geological records of environmental evolution and climate change in the Songnen Plain. To explore the origin, provenance, and chemical weathering intensity of the typical black soil in northeast China, this study analyzed the major elements of nine representative black soil profiles in the Hailun area and then compared these elements with the element geochemical characteristics of typical aeolian deposits. The results are as follows. ①The sum of the content of the major elements (SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3) and the UCC standardized curve of the Hailun black soil profiles were highly similar to those of typical aeolian deposits, indicating that the typical black soil in Hailun is aeolian; ②The average chemical index of alteration (CIA) was 63.97. The CIA-Na/K diagrams all indicated a low degree of chemical weathering. By comparison with the weathering intensity of typical aeolian deposits, the weathering intensity of the soil was in the order of loess in Huangshan, Harbin > loess in Xiashu, Zhenjiang > red clay in Xifeng > black soil in Hailun≈loess in Luochuan; ③The black soil at a depth of 0~30 cm has higher w(SiO2)/w(TiO2) and w(SiO2)/w(Al2O3) ratios than the black soil below 30 cm, indicating that the late typical black soil in Hailun has a coarser grain size and higher quartz content. The geochemical characteristics of the major elements indicate that the typical black soil in the surface layer and the deep layer may not have the same climate, environment, and provenance conditions, which may change at a depth of approximately 30 cm.
