Abstract:Soil is the carrier of urban green space function, and is closely related to the urban livability, environmental quality and human life quality. Taking a large community of Lingang New Area in Shanghai as an example, the main control indicators (pH, salinity, EC value, organic matter, texture, infiltration rate and germination index) of greening planting soil and greening topsoil are investigated and analyzed to evaluate the soil quality status. The analysis results show that the salt contents of greening planting soil and greening topsoil mostly meet the requirements, and the sample exceeding the standard rate is less than 4%. The texture is mainly loamy sandy soil and sandy loam soil, and no samples exceed the standard. The rates of pH, organic matter and EC value exceeding the standard are higher, and especially the rate of EC exceeding the standard is as high as 88%. The two soils are seriously salinized, and the EC values and organic matter are generally lower. The soil improvement is all required.
