Different facies of sulfur abundance and sulfur isotopic composition are utilized for tracing its sources and identifying soil sulfur turnover.For sintering plant section soil samples, soil total sulfur contents are highly variable between 0.01% and 0.69%; Soluble sulfur isotopic compositions varied between 16.6‰~31.3‰; chromium reducible sulfur (CRS) isotopic compositions varied between 7.6‰~14.0‰; In the soil profile of Yongledian, considered to be the most natural and least polluted site, total sulfur abundances ranged from 0.001%~0.03%.Soluble sulfur isotopic compositions varied between 7.0‰~9.2‰; CRS isotopic compositions varied between -7.1‰~5.8‰.δ³⁴S values from the sintering plant section disclosed that the sulfur sources are mainly from burning coal residue, soot particles, rain, gypsum dissolution and so on.The δ³⁴_SSO4^2- values from the Yongledian section disclosed that topsoil and deep soil samples have not been polluted and retained the original natural characteristics, where the main sulfur sources are from rain and biological sulfur.The usefulness of stable isotope investigations of S compounds in soils provides a technology for tracing the sources of different facies of sulfur in soil and their environmental assessment.
