To fully grasp the basic conditions of soil nutrients and environmental quality of tea plantations in Xixiang County, 23 soil samples were collected from the representative tea plantations, soil nutrients and 22 elements contents were detected, and the nutrients and soil environmental quality in tea plantations of Xixiang County were evaluated according to the relevant soil environmental quality standards. The Kriging spatial interpolation method was used to analyze the distribution of soil elements of tea plantations. The results showed that: the mean value of pH, organic matter, and total nitrogen was 4.89 (4.10 - 5.75), 27.71 (13.23 - 59.42) g·kg^-1, 1.39 (0.74 - 2.02) g·kg^-1, separately; the available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg) were 62.85 (18.70 - 212.99) mg·kg^-1, 46.39 (0.81 - 163.00) mg·kg^-1, 115.18 (50.53 - 365.00) mg·kg^-1 and 404.96 (94.41 - 870.52) mg·kg^-1 in soil samples of tea plantations, respectively. Only 17% of soil samples in the main nutritional diagnostic indicators meet the nutrient requirements of high-quality, high-efficiency, and high-yield tea plantations. The mean value of the Nemerow multi-factor index was 0.67 for all the samples, which suggested that the overall soil environmental quality was at a safe level for Xixiang tea plantations. While, the niccolum (Ni), chromium (Cr), cuprum (Cu), and cadmium (Cd) contents in individual sample were slightly higher than the risk screening values. The spatial distribution of 22 elements was extremely uneven in the tea plantations, and soil elements had different enrichment features in different areas of Xixiang County. The results of this study can provide a theoretical basis for nutrient management, tea plantations construction, tea quality and safety improvement of Xixiang County.
