Abstract
The results of studies on the gross content and fractional composition of heavy metals in loamy soils of agro-settlement landscapes, soils of floodplain landscapes of the Voronezh River, as well as sandy soils on sandy terraces of forest and parkland landscapes in the zones affected by Lipetsk metallurgical complexes. It has been established that the bulk of iron in the soils of urban landscapes is represented by sparingly soluble compounds (80–96 %). A significant amount of total cadmium (15–22 %) is connected to the fraction of easily replaced and unstable compounds which determines the element high migration activity. Areas of environmental risk with increased concentrations of heavy metals have been identified which include the flood area of the Voronezh floodplain (Zn, Pb) and the pine forest park landscapes on sandy soils in the affected zone by the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant (Zn, Pb, Cd).
