Abstract:
The redistribution of lead to meet human needs reflects the relationship between humans and land, and the redistribution process will influence the future evolution of the land surface. An analysis of the spatial transfer of lead was undertaken to determine the regional distribution of lead in each phase of its life cycle during 1990-2014 using the administrative unit of each province in Mainland China as the spatial unit. A quantitative analysis of the spatio-temporal evolution of the anthropogenic transfer of lead in China was conducted through a comparison of the differences in the spatio-temporal distribution of lead at different stages of its life cycle. The results showed that during 1990 to 2014, the mining of lead ore was gradually transferred from southern China to the northwest inland area and northern China, and lead within products was finally transferred to the eastern coastal area of China to complete its life cycle. The distribution of natural and social resources, supply and demand of markets, and foreign trade affect the lead anthropogenic transfer.
