Abstract
The article presents the results of studies on the sorption of pollutants by moisture-loving plants when using peat soil under different anthropogenic loads. The comparative cultivation of moisture-loving plants on sod-podzolic soil, typical for this area, and on peat soil revealed their specificity in the sorption of heavy metals: there was a decrease in the content of lead and copper in peat soil under moisture-loving plants. In typical sod-podzolic soil under moisture-loving plants the opposite dynamics was observed. As for the zinc content, it was found that it increased in peat soil under moisture-loving plants, with the exception of reed. The experiment was conducted on the territory of the Ecological Station of the Russian State Agrarian University – Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy in Moscow in 2019‑2022. Thus, moisture-loving plants grown on peat soil as a substrate can be used to reduce the content of mobile forms of heavy metals (lead and copper) in urbanized soils.
