This study presents the contents and
spatial distribution of arsenic (As) in vineyard soils
from the Valdepeñas Protected Designation Origin
(PDO) in central Spain. As content varies within the
108.40–0.03 mg·kg−1 range in surface horizons, and
within 151.00–0.03 mg·kg−1 in subsurface horizons.
The mean value of both horizons is similar: 4.25 and
4.88 mg·kg−1, respectively. Based on optimal spatial
interpolation, the spatial distribution of As in soils
was mapped by the IDV method. A simple data and
map analysis suggests that pedogeogenic sources are
the main sources for As (the As distribution tends to
match the lithology and soil types), which indicates
minor anthropogenic sources, mainly by agricultural sector activities. Only a high As concentration
appears in the NE area, where sporadic moderate contamination is estimated based on Dutch criteria. The
data obtained from the study area provide a broader
view of the concentration, distribution, enrichment,
sources, and the potential environmental contamination by As in the vineyard soils of this large winegrowing zone. The assessment of the results indicates that As does not afect agriculture (vineyards) in the
study area because its concentrations are low in the
soil types used by agriculture. These data can be
employed as a guide to learn the range of values in
vineyard soils in the European Mediterranean Region
that are relatively unpolluted from industrial sources
to make comparisons to more polluted areas
