AbstractThe mobility of Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, and Zn in podzols and organic soils (Histosols) in the area of long-term pollution from the Monchegorsk copper–nickel plant (Murmansk oblast, Russia) has been assessed using the parameters of diffusion and convection–diffusion models. The found values of diffusion parameters match the data for other regions. ...

AbstractSoil temperature was measured in the O horizon of Albic Podzol on two sites of strongly contaminated and damaged ecosystem from September 22 to July 10 in 2014/2015 and 2015/2016. The ecosystem is located 8 km to the north of the Severonikel industrial complex (the Kola Peninsula), the largest source of emissions of SO2 and heavy metals in ...

AbstractDetailed mapping of soils under a multi-row 4-km-long 50-year-old forest shelterbelt crossing diverse landforms and under adjacent croplands was performed at the key site in Belgorod oblast, in the south of the Central Russian Upland. Samples were collected in 30 points both in the central part of the shelterbelt and at distances of 30 mete...

AbstractTrends of changes in the properties of solonetzic soil complexes of the dry-steppe and semidesert zones under the impact of land reclamation measures. agricultural use, and further withdrawal of reclaimed land from agricultural use were analyzed. Our own and published data were used as information sources. An expert evaluation of the modern...

AbstractThe water-soluble components originated in coniferous litters desorb into solution the native organic substances from the solid phase of the eluvial horizons of podzols and podzolic soil. In podzols, the water-soluble organic matter (WSOM) extracted from litter and then passing through the E horizons are sorbed by the BFH horizons if their ...

AbstractPlant roots have great effect on the process of soil detachment, but the contribution of the physical and biochemical effects of root on soil detachment have not been sufficiently evaluated. For the purpose to distinguish the relative contribution of the root physical effect and biochemical effect to soil erosion resistance, three kinds of ...

AbstractUnderstanding spatial variations of soil properties is necessary for the management of rangelands vegetation ecosystem. The present study aimed to assess the spatial variations of soil properties in the hillslope of the Taftan semi-active volcanic mountain, Sistan and Baluchestan Province, south-eastern Iran. The locations of 30 sampling po...

Abstract—Concurrent with the Chernobyl accident along the explosions caused by nuclear tests and advances in nuclear sciences, researchers around the world have been trying to examine the potential of fallout radionuclides for accurate estimation of soil erosion and redistribution. The inadequacy of the existence of radionuclides and the complexity...

AbstractLandscapes of the northern part of the Bolshoi Paipudynskii Ridge (the Polar Urals) served as a key site to study the taxonomic diversity of soils on calcareous rocks as related to both bioclimatic and geogenic (relief, thickness of eluvial and colluvial derivatives of calcareous rocks) factors. Soils of the postlithogenic trunk of the new ...

AbstractThe problem of the quantitative assessment and prediction of suffosion-induced subsidence in saline soils and sediments is relevant for irrigation, washing of saline soils, and increasing amounts of domestic and industrial effluents. Based on the solution of the convective diffusion equation and taking into account the dissolution of salts ...
