In this paper, five plants (ramie, Indian mustard, Rumex, Brassica napus and maize) were pot cultured with 0 (control group), 25, 75, 125, 175, 275, 375 and 485 μg·g^-1 uranium in the soil. The qualitative and quantitative indicating effects of leaf spectral angle on soil uranium pollution in different growth stages were studied, and the relationship between quantitative indicating effect and leaf uranium content was analyzed It provides an effective way to quickly and safely carry out the background investigation and dynamic monitoring of soil uranium content through field measurement of plant leaf spectrum. The results and main conclusions are as follows: (1) Based on the leaf reflectance spectra of experimental plants in different growth stages, the spectral angles of soil polluted by uranium in five bands (350~716 nm for leaf pigment, 717~975 nm for red edge and near infrared platform, 976~1 265, 1 266~1 770 and 1 771~2 500 nm for water) were calculated. In most cases, the spectral angles of the five experimental plants were greater than the thresholds of the control group. The spectral angles of leaves havecomprehensive responses of 350~2 500 nm to theuranium in soil, which can qualitatively indicate whether the soil is polluted by uranium or not. (2) Eight linear regression equationspassing the significance test with spectral angles as independent variables were obtained, covering all five experimental plants. The coefficient of determination R² of 7 linear regression equations were >0.64, and R² of 3 linear regression equations (ramie-seedling stage, Indian mustard-flowering stage and rape-bud bolting stage) were>0.81. Combined with other inversion effect evaluation indexes, it can be considered that leaf spectral angles can quantitatively indicate the degree of soil uranium pollution, but the function of the quantitative indicator varies with plant species and growth period. (3) There was a positive correlation between leaf spectral angles and uranium contents in soil. (4) The leaf spectral angles of ramie and Indian mustard at the seedling stage can be used to retrieve soil uranium content, which is an outstanding characteristic for indicating soil pollution status as early as possible through plant spectrum.
