ABSTRACT
The distribution of rare earth element (REE) forms in soils is given in the present paper on the basis of sequential fractionation and determination of 34 representative surface soils collected from all parts of China. Results obtained show that the extraction rate of water soluble and exchangeable REE had the odd-even phenomenon and that of organically bound REE from La to Lu tended to reduce gradually with the increase of atomic number. The stability of Sc and the activity and enrichment of Tm in soils are proposed. Furthermore, the paper makes a preliminary discussion on the differences in the concentration distribution of various forms of individual REE in some soils.
