[Objective] To research the content of Pb element in latosol of Hainan island and to assess its environmental quality.[Method] Samples were selected for lab analysis.27 samples from different landforms of Hainan Island were selected（the same place was sampled for three times） to analyze the content of Pb in latosol of Hainan Island,study the spatial distribution feature of this element in latosol from different places and evaluate the content of Pb element in latosol of Hainan Island by geo-accumulation index.[Result] The content of Pb generally stays at high level in latosol of Hainan Island;however,the mean content of Pb in east Hainan is lower than the mean value of west Hainan;vertically,the mean content of Pb shows descending order from hills,mountainous area to plain;the pollution assessment result showed that latosol of Hainan Island was hardly polluted by Pb element and only its content in the latosol from middle,south area stays at high level.[Conclusion] The research provided scientific reference for constructing a national tropical modern agricultural base in Hainan as well as controlling Pb pollution.
Combining the integrated technology of ecological quantity analytical method with GIS technology, based on the Landsat TM images and SPOT images in 1995 and 2009, this paper made a quantitative analysis of the changing process of land use/cover. The results showed that land use/cover in study area had undergone obviously changes from 1995 to 2009. The artificial landscapes which were mainly tropical crops plantation increased dramatically, natural forest and rubber forest was substantially reduced. The major patterns of land use change in the study area were the conversions of the natural forest and rubber forest to tropical crops plantation and cultivated land, cultivated land converted to tropical crops plantation and residential area. The analysis of landscape index showed that the role of landscape structure more diverse and uniform with the diversity of landscape fragmentation increases, the dominance of natural forest and rubber forest on the overall control of landscape reduced under the influence of human activities in the study area. The driving force analysis showed that economic development, agriculture industrial structure, policy and technology factors were the dominant factors of land use/change in the study area in the short term.
