The Qilian Mountain，located in the northeastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau，is a transitional region between the East Asian monsoon and westerly zones and extremely sensitive to global climate changes. An in-depth understanding of the spatial pattern of soil nutrients in typical forest ecosystem of the Qilian Mountain is of great significance for the conservation of forest resources in the Qilian Mountain and the construction of ecological security barriers in western China. From the perspective of spatial changes to soil nutrients in Qinghai spruce forests of the Qilian Mountain，this report systematically sorts out previous research results on soil nutrient characteristics of the region，and utilizes available research information and data to understand the spatial distribution patterns of soil nutrients in the Qilian Mountain region，for the purpose of providing a scientific basis for restoration of forest ecosystem，cultivation of forests，and management and protection of forest resources in the Qilian Mountain region. It also proposes countermeasures to maintain and restore the nutrient productivity of the Qilian Mountain region by implementing reasonable afforestation，grazing rest and rotation，changing industrial structure，enhancing environmental law enforcement，etc.
