Through field investigation and experimental analysis, the forms, contents and distribution of heavy metals (Zn, Pb, Cu, Cd, Ni, Cr) in rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils of Miscanthus floridulus growing everywhere in Tielongwei mine pond (sample plot 1), Caoduikeng tailings pond (sample plot 2), Donghua tailings pond (sample plot 3) and Small tailings pond (sample plot 4) in Dabaoshan, Guangdong Province were studied. The results showed that the main forms and distributions of heavy metals in rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils are basically the same, which shows that the mineral content accounts for most of the total amount of heavy metals, while the exchange content is low. Compared with non-rhizosphere soil, the proportion of exchangeable and organic heavy metals in rhizosphere soil increased significantly, in which the proportion of organic-bound Cu increased by 53.25%, the proportion of organic-bound Cd and Pb increased by more than 17%, and the proportion of Zn increased by 5.67%. At the same time, the contents of carbonate-bound and iron manganese oxide-bound decreased. Statistical analyses showed that the morphological distribution of Zn, Pb, Cu, Cd, Ni and Cr in rhizosphere soil was closely related to soil pH value, organic matter content, plant growth and other factors. The results of this study provided a basis for the restoration of heavy metal-contaminated sites by Miscanthus.
