Abstract:

To study the migration and characteristics of trace elements in soil-tea system in Meitan tea area, Guizhou Province, tea leaves and soil from 12 villages including Xima Town and Yuquan Town in Meitan County were collected and contents of 11 trace elements including Ce, Co, Fe, La, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pr, Se and Zn were detected by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES). The results showed that average contents of Ni, Zn and other heavy metals in the soil were lower than the national limit standard, and the single pollution index (Pi) ≤1 and the index of geo-accumulation (Igeo) ≤0, indicated that Meitan tea area soil were not polluted. In addition, Meitan tea area met the requirements of selenium-rich soil, but the pollution indexes of Co, Pr and Ni were close to the pollution limit. Therefore, it was suggested that the tea area should reduce the emission of toxic and harmful substances containing Co, Pr and Ni, so as to solve the hidden danger of element pollution in the future and keep the soil clean. At the same time, according to the national standard, content of heavy metals in Meitan tea did not exceed the standard, and some tea areas in Meitan met the requirements of selenium-rich tea. It could also be seen that in the tea-soil-pH system, tea had positive or negative correlations with most elements in the upper and lower layers of soil, and pH value of the upper and lower layers of the soil was also positively or negatively correlated with contents of some elements in the soil. Enrichment ability of Mn element in the tea tree was strong, and the absorption of Mn element had a certain antagonistic effect on the absorption of Mg, Na, Ni, Pr, Co and Se. In this study, principal component analysis and canonical discriminant analysis were used to study the characteristics of the upper and lower layers of soil and tea in Meitan tea area. It was found that both principal component analysis and canonical discriminant analysis could distinguish the tea leaves and soil in the 12 tea areas, which not only realized the differentiation of soil in different tea areas, but also distinguished the upper and lower layers of the soil in the same tea area, and the data points in the canonical discriminant analysis showed better aggregation. The above results indicated that there were differences in the contents of trace elements in tea leaves and soil in different regions of Meitan tea area, with obvious characteristics. In this study, the characteristics of trace elements in the soil-tea system in Meitan tea area were systematically explored to provide a basis for the enrichment, migration and origin traceability of trace elements in the soil-tea system in Meitan tea area in Guizhou Province.
