Abstract
The article deals with the content and distribution of microelements in the profile of native soils of the Rostov agglomeration under different types of woody plant communities. Determination of microelement content was carried out by X-ray fluorescence method on "Spectroscan MAKS-GV" device. Calcic Chernozems (Pachic) under natural steppe vegetation and their analogues under artificial tree formations were studied. Man-made forest plantations in the steppe zone provide conditions for accumulation of zinc and lead in the upper humus-accumulative horizons, and copper at the carbonate barrier layer in illuvial-carbonate horizons of chernozem.
