Spatial and temporal variations of soil nutrients of cropland in Northeast China from the 1980s to the 2010s

In recent years, the degradation of cropland soils in Northeast China, such as "thinned, barren, and hardened", has become increasingly serious, with consequences on sustainable development of agriculture. Based on the data from Soil Types of China (1980s) and Soil Series of China (2010s), we examined the change patterns of soil nutrient conditions across different regions and soil types in Northeast China over the past 30 years through the statistical analysis of large samples. The results showed that: 1) from the 1980s to the 2010s, soil nutrient indicators in Northeast China changed to different degrees. Soil pH decreased by 0.03. Soil organic matter (SOM) content decreasd most prominently, by 8.99 g·kg-1 or 23.6%. Soil total N (TN), total P (TP) and total K (TK) contents showed increasing trends, with increases of 17.1%, 46.8%, and 4.9%, respectively. 2) Changes in soil nutrient indicators differed across different provinces and cities. Soil acidification in Liaoning was the most obvious, with pH decreasing by 0.32. SOM content in Liaoning decreased most significantly, by 31.0%. Soil TN, TP, and TK contents in Liaoning increased most significantly by 73.8%, 248.1% and 44.0%, respectively. 3) The changes of soil nutrients varied greatly among soil types, with brown soil and kastanozems showing the greatest decrease in pH. The SOM content of all soil types showed a decreasing trend, with 35.4%, 33.8% and 26.0% reduction in brown soil, dark brown forest soil and chernozem respectively. The greatest increase in TN, TP and TK contents were observed in brown soil by 89.1%, 232.8%, and 48.5%, respectively. In summary, declining organic matter content and soil acidification were the core problems of soil degradation in Northeast China from the 1980s to the 2010s. Reasonable tillage methods and targeted conservation strategies are critically needed to ensure the sustai-nable development of agriculture in Northeast China.
