Abstract
Heavy metal pollution of agricultural soils is an important issue around the world. To understand the overall pollution process, accurate determination of every input and output pathway of heavy metals to and from soils is essential. Hence, input and output inventory, a quantitative analysis method of heavy metals balance in agricultural soils, has been widely used. However, due to differences in geography, climate, socioeconomic factors, industrial and agricultural production, substantial variation exists among existing input and output inventories for different countries and regions. In this study, we systematically analyzed these differences and the findings will improve the compilation of inventories worldwide.
