摘要: Remnant forests in urban areas provide vital ecosystem services but are susceptible to many human activities including heavy metal emissions. In this study, we collected 192 samples of mineral soils at depths 0-3, 3-13 and 13-23 cm 16 remnant (eight natural eight plantation forests) the urbanized Pearl River Delta, China. We assessed potential risks soil Cu, Zn, Pb, Mn, Ni Cr vegetation these based on their total 0.1 M HCl extractable concentrations. The mean concentrations for all were 202.7, 102.0, 75.7, 24.3, 30.3, 7.8 mg/kg Cr, Ni, respectively. Compared background values, Zn higher both located near industrial non-industrial sites; Cu Pb sites, particularly forests. Total Mn exchangeable than
