It is well known that alkaline amendments could effectively decrease the bioavailability of heavy metals in soils. However, the vertical distribution of heavy metals and the nutrients enriching in amendments are little concerned during long-term field remediation. Thus, the objective of the present study was to investigate the vertical distribution and availability of Cu, Cd, Ca, and P after a 7-year field experiment. In this study, a single application of lime and apatite was conducted with the rates of 1.71–6.84 and 6.84–19.8 tons/ha, respectively. Soil pH and immobilization efficiency of Cu and Cd were both increased with increasing dosages of lime and apatite (0–50 cm). Applications of lime and apatite decreased the mobility of Cu and Cd although soil Cu and Cd in the surface soil were increased due to the input by atmospheric dry and wet deposition. Moreover, concentrations of Cu and Cd in lime- and apatite-amended soils (0–13 cm) were higher than those in the control group. However, applications of lime and apatite decreased the downward eluviations of heavy metals in soils (13–50 cm). For soil nutrients, the Ca concentrations at 0–13 and 13–30 cm were both enhanced with increasing amendment dosages, while only soil P concentration at 0–13 cm was increased in apatite-treated soils and majority of them presented in stable-P. In addition, resin-P was increased with increasing dosages of the apatite, which suggested that high eutrophication risk was induced by excessive P loss. Thus, more attention should be paid to the nutrients (phosphorus) and pollutants enriching in the amendments during in-situ remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils.
