The effects of land use and soil properties on the concentrations of total and available Zn in soils were investigated.The ANOVA analysis showed that land use had a significant effect on the concentrations of total and available Zn in agricultural and industrial areas;the concentration of total Zn in vegetable land

dry land

paddy field

and wood land had significant differences except tea garden and orchard;and the content of available Zn in the 6 agricultural land use types did not show significant differences.Moreover

the relationships between the Zn content and soil properties were respectively constructed for agricultural and industrial land use.Results showed that total nitrogen

organic matter and pH had significant influences on the total Zn content.Available phosphorus

available potassium

and the total Zn content had significant effects on the concentration of available Zn in agricultural area.Soil properties did not have significant influences on both the total and available Zn contents in industrial area

and the available content only had strong correlation with the total content.Risk assessment of available Zn using indicator Kriging demonstrated that most of the study areas were in low risk probability for arable activities

and 5.56% of the study areas and 5.99% of the arable land were in high risk probability(>0.100).
