Figure S1. Sampling sites and forests distribution. Red dots are the sampling sites. To illustrate the
relative position clearly, the sampling sites were moved slightly from original position. The
precise sampling location, including latitude, longitude and altitude, can be found in Table S1
from supportive information.

Figure S3. ΣPCN concentrations (pg/g C) in the O-horizon (A) and the A-horizon (B). The stretch
values along a green color ramp indicate population density. Red lines outline four major
industrial zones in China, including Northeast Industrial Base, Bohai Economic Circle, Yangtze
River Delta and Pearl River Delta

Figure S8 The spatial distribution of relative abundance of CN-73 in the O-horizon and coke consumption in each province.
Figure S9 The profiles of stack gas samples from 11 typical coke plants in China and 6 O-horizon soil samples close to areas with the highest cokes consumption in Fig S8. CC, PC and QC represent the charging of coal (CC), pushing of coke (PC) and Quenching of coking (QC) through the coking process. WY sites (Wuyuezhai Mountain) are the closest to coke consumption areas. BC1, BC5 (Baicaowa Mountain) and SH4 (Saihanba Mountain) were also closed to mega cities.

Figure S13 Latitudinal trends of PCN homologue groups at Daxinganling Mountain in the A- and O-horizons.
Figure S14 Latitudinal trends of PCN homologue groups at Baicaowa in the A-horizons. The number of quantifiable sites was less than four in the O-horizon samples, therefore the plots of elevation gradients were not displayed.
