Contamination of heavy metal has become one of the important environmental issues.The content,distribution,existence forms,migration,biological effects and countermeasures of heavy metal pollutants in the environment were paid more attention.On the basis of an ecosystem,the ecological process of heavy metals has become one of the hot topics researchrs in recent years.Thorough understanding of a system on input or output of internal migration and qualitative and quantitative change rule of all kinds of heavy metals due to the biogeochemical process was necessary for knowing bearing capacity of ecosystem and thus maintaining sustainable and healthy development.Therefore,low hilly land in the upper Yangtze river valley(Wutongqiao district)in the typical catchment was used as a study object to investigate atmospheric deposition,throughfall,stemflow and litter layer in different stand types,different soil layers of different land use types and runoff on trunk of concentration of heavy metals by sampling.We also analyzed heavy metal contents in atmospheric dry and wet deposition,dynamic change and its input and output,compared with the filtration of heavy metal in different stand types to calculate the reserves of heavy metals in the study area and to reveal the effect of interception and filtration of heavy metals in catchment compound ecosystem.These results are of significance for protecting the regional ecological environment,providing the scientific basis and optimization measures for in-depth development of Sichuan province,restorating main area polluted by non-point source pollution,and building ecological restoration experiment and demonstration research.Our main results are as follows:(1)The annual precipitation in catchment was 1202.42 mm.The order was summer>spring>autumn>winter.The total of heavy metal contents in dry sedimentation was always higher than that in wet sedimentation.There was a significant negative correlation relationship between heavy metal contents in atmosph,eric rainfall and rainfall.Total input of heavy metals was16.44 kg·hm-2·a-1,of which atmospheric deposition was 13.84kg·hm-2·a-1,pesticides and fertilizers

environmental quality standard class III in the catchment of agroforestry ecosystem,to drinking water sources protection of two standard.But the heavy metal pollution in the atmosphere was more serious than other cities in the country.The soils were not polluted by Pb,Cu and As,only slightly polluted by Zn,but Cd was seriously polluted in the catchment.The potential ecological hazard of Cd was the highest,the potential ecological hazard of surface soil of dry land and paddy soil were stronger,and the potential ecological hazard of forest soils were moderate.The filtration effect of heavy metals in forest land were significantly higher than that in dry land,and the filter effect of broad leaved forest were higher than that of coniferous forest.In summary,in order to reduce the regional ecological risk,control non-point source pollution,improve environmental quality,on the one hand,we can governance the environmental from thesource,such as appropriate to reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers,on the other hand,we can increase the forest area(preferably broad-leaved forest),increase the uptake and fixation effect of plant,reduce the migration of heavy metals in the region,provide support for the ecological restoration of pollution.
