The contents of six heavy metals (Cd, Hg, As, Pb, Cr and Cu) were measured in the surface soil (depth in 0-10 cm and 10-20 cm, respectively) from 100 sampling sites in a strawberry base area in Hefei, and the degree of contamination and ecological risk of heavy metals in strawberry growing soil were evaluated using the ground accumulation index method and combined with multivariate statistical analysis to explore the sources of heavy metals. The results showed that Pb, Cd, Hg, Cu and Cr had accumulated and polluted soil in some areas of strawberry base to a certain extent, but the pollution risk was low. The principal component analysis showed that Pb, Cd, As Cu and Hg were derived from human agricultural activities. Cr originates from soil parent material and weathering accumulation. It showed that the ecological risk of soil heavy metals in the whole area of strawberry base was low, and the heavy metals in the soil have not affected the quality and safety of strawberries.
