Abstract:

Concentration and distribution characteristics of PAHs in soil between a Cinnamomum camphora stand and a bare land were studied,and PAHs concentration levels in two kinds of soil were evaluated.The results showed PAHs mainly accumulated in 0~30 cm soil depth in two lands and apparently decreased with the increasing of soil depth.Every soil layer was dominated by high molecular weight PAHs,So PAHs mainly result from combustion.The PAHs concentration is 1.1 times as much in the C.camphora forest land as in the bare land.In addition,the evaluation also implied PAHs concentrations in the bare land were higher than those in the C.camphora forest land.PAHs in the C.camphora forest land and the bare land exceed standard by 5 kinds and 8 kinds,respectively.

Key words: Cinnamomum camphora forest, bare land, soil, PAHs
