Abstract:
Land emerges as the most fundamental resource for agricultural production, and addressing land quality-related issues is the key to ensuring high food quality. A comprehensive understanding of land quality is crucial to the scientific and sustainable utilization and development of land resources. This study conducted a 1:50,000 geochemical survey of land quality in the contiguous farmland in Dongchuan Town, Yao'an County, Yunnan Province. Accordingly, this study provided a comprehensive assessment of soil nutrients, environment, dry and wet atmospheric deposits, and agricultural irrigation water. Based on the assessment results, this study determined the production areas of green food and pollution-free agricultural products, aiming to provide a reference for the development and utilization of sustainable, green cultivated land. The results indicate that soils in the study area are nutrient-rich and enjoy a favorable environment, high-quality irrigation water, and an excellent atmospheric environment. The comprehensive grade assessment results of soil quality align with those of land quality, revealing that the first and second-grade high-quality soils account for 68.98% of the total area. A batch of production areas of pollution-free and green food were determined, and those that can be directly used to develop green, zinc- and copper-rich crops were delineated. These findings will provide geochemical data support for land use planning, food security, building agricultural products with plateau characteristics, and serving rural revitalization efforts.
