The first systematic and comprehensive investigation of herbicide residues was conducted by identifying their spatial distribution, influencing factors and ecological risk in cropland soils from the Mollisols region covering 109 million hm2 in Northeast China. Fifty-six herbicides were detected with total herbicide concentrations ranging from 1.01 to 1558.13 μg/kg (mean: 227.45). Atrazine, its degradates deethyl atrazine (DEA) and deisopropyl atrazine (DIA), trifluralin and butachlor were the most frequently detected herbicides, while DEA, clomazone, nicosulfuron, fomesafen, and mefenacet exhibited the highest concentrations. Despite being less frequently reported in Chinese soils, fomesafen, nicosulfuron, clomazone, and mefenacet were found widely present. Although most of the compounds posed a minimal or low ecological risk, atrazine, nicosulfuron and DEA exhibited medium to high potential risks. The key factors identified to regulate the fate of herbicides were soil chemical properties, amount of herbicides application, and the crop type. The soybean soils showed highest herbicide residues, while the soil mineral contents likely adsorbed more herbicides. This study provides a valuable large-scale dataset of herbicide residues across the entire Mollisols region of China along with fine-scale characterization of the ecological risks. Mitigation and management measures are needed to reduce the herbicide inputs and residues in the region.
