Dynamics of metals in landscape-geochemical conditions of oka river middle areas

The object of investigation is revelation of the seasonal dynamics of metals in soil and plants in the middle areas of the Oka river and the town of Tarusa and assessment of the degree of pollution of soil and plants in the area of the town of Tarusa. The researchers have pioneered in revealing the specific features of the seasonal dynamics of metals in soil and plants having regard to the atmospheric component, determined the spatial (in various elementary landscapes) and time (seasonwise) dynamics of metals and quantitatively evaluated the rates of ingress and outflow of chemical elements in the eluvial landscape. The obtained investigation results and data on the seasonal dynamics of metals in soil and plants in the area of the town of Tarusa and nonpolluted regions may find application in the system of the state hydrometeorological committee and sanitary and epidemiological services of the Kaluga region and adjacent areas. The obtained data on contamination of soil and plants in the area of the town of Tarusa have been published by the state hydrometeorological and environmental potection committeeAvailable from VNTIC / VNTIC - Scientific & Technical Information Centre of RussiaSIGLERURussian Federatio
