Abstract Based on the multi-purpose regional geochemical survey, the authors discovered a large area of selenium-rich soils on the north slope of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang from Urumqi to Shawan County. The selenium content is relatively high, and a variety of fertile elements are rich. The study shows that the selenium is mostly distributed in the surface soil and exhibits the positive correlation with the organic content. It is indicated that the selenium originates in parent soil materials while the enrichment state of selenium depends on the supergene geochemical circumstance of local fluvio-lacustrine deposits.
