Abstract: The heavy metal pollution and nutritional conditions of the soil in the Hongtoushan Copper Mine Area were investigated and analyzed via developing a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model and sampling the soil from waste dump and tailing deposit, with the aim of providing basic reference for the pollution control and land reclamation in future and, further, for the overall ecological restoration of the polluted area. The fuzzy evaluation results showed that the heavy metal pollution of the soil under waste dump and tailing deposit is terribly serious, and that of the soil around the two sites is less serious. In view of nutritive elements, what the soil under waste dump lacks most is total potassium and organic matters, and the potassium fertilizers will be necessary with extra soil incorporated during land reclamation. As to the soil of tailing deposit, what it lacks most is the readily available nitrogen fertilizer which will be indispensable during land reclamation with the nitrogen-fixation vegetation planted.
