Farmland ecosystem is an important ecological resource of national park. Through the monitoring of farmland nutrient background and comprehensive evaluation of fertility in Qianjiangyuan National Park, background data were accumulated for the subsequent evaluation of the impact of easement reform in Qianjiangyuan National Park. Soil bulk density, pH, organic matter, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, alkali-hydrochloric nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium were measured in four areas of Qianjiangyuan National Park, including Suzhuang, Hetian, Changhong and Qixi. The modified Nemero comprehensive fertility evaluation index, comprehensive soil fertility index based on principal component analysis and soil fertility health index were used to evaluate the current situation of farmland soil fertility. The results show that the soil in Qianjiangyuan National Park is generally acidic with pH value of 5.35. The soil is rich in organic matter, total nitrogen, alkali hydrolyzed nitrogen, and available phosphorus, with contents of 36.37 g·kg-1, 1.98 g·kg-1, 187.94 mg·kg-1, and 74.76 mg·kg-1, respectively. However, available potassium is relatively deficient, with a content of 64.27 mg·kg-1. It is the main limiting factor of soil fertility. Correlation analysis shows that soil pH is significantly negatively correlated with available potassium, bulk density is significantly negatively correlated with available nitrogen, total nitrogen, and organic matter. There is a highly significant positive correlation between organic matter and total nitrogen as well as alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen, but organic matter isn't significantly correlated with total phosphorus and available phosphorus. In the comparison of different research methods, the comprehensive soil fertility index based on principal component analysis is more applicable, the comprehensive soil fertility level in the study area is good, and the spatial heterogeneity is obvious. The fertility grades of each area are Hetian>Qixi>Changhong>Suzhuang in sequence.The comprehensive fertility level of Hetian area is one level higher than that of the other three areas. This study can provide reference for the construction of soil quality evaluation model and soil management according to local conditions in Qianjiangyuan National Park in the future, and provide scientific decision-making basis for the protection, development and utilization of soil resources in national parks.
