Background Soil heavy metals (HMs) under different land-use types have diverse effects, which may trigger the ecological risk. To explore the potential sources of HMs in karst soils, the spatial distribution and geochemical behavior of HMs based on different land-use types are employed in this study. Methods Soil samples (n = 47) were collected in three suites of karst soil profiles from the ...
