Abstract: The spatial distribution of soil nutrients and soil microbes in five arbores-bushes-grass lands at the south-north hills in Lanzhou was studied. The results showed that: 1) the soil organic matter and total N content in the soil of Caragana korshinskii land were significantly larger than lands of Tamarix austromongolica, Lycium chinense, Reaumuria soongorica and Platycladus orientalis types (P<0.05), the soil chemical property was improved. The ranking of the soil nutrient contents was C. korshinskii type>T. austromongolica type>L. chinense type>R. soongorica type>P. orientalis type. The amount of soil microbes was the most abundant at the C. korshinskii type land. 2) The quantity of microbes and nutrient content clearly decreased with the soil depth in the different land because of soil fertility factor. The quantity of microbes in the 0-10 cm layer was 47.86% of total microbes. 3) The interaction was existed among vegetation, soil nutrient and soil microbial quantity in some extend.
