Abstract
The processes of soil formation and its fertility are influenced by various factors, including concentration of various elements and substances. In the course of this study, soil samples were taken from different districts of the Vologda Oblast. Chemical composition of the samples and the humus formation index were determined. Based on the results obtained, the dependences of the humus formation index on the content of some cations and anions were established.
Highlights
In the Vologda Region, work is underway to assess the quality of soils, which are not agricultural land at present and are located in the most risky areas, not far from landfills, highways, construction sites and industrial enterprises
The following tasks were solved: 1. Using modern instrumental research methods, determine the chemical composition of soil samples taken from different areas of the Vologda region (Ustyuzhensky, Babaevsky, Cherepovetsky, Vologda areas)
Newly-taken soil samples were subjected to fractionation by the sieve analysis method
Summary
In the Vologda Region, work is underway to assess the quality of soils, which are not agricultural land at present and are located in the most risky areas, not far from landfills, highways, construction sites and industrial enterprises. As part of this work, the Department of Chemistry and Biology of the Vologda State University is conducting research on the assessment of the chemical composition of the soil and on the effect of the chemical composition on the processes of humus formation. According to the gross composition, humusaccumulative horizons are determined, which are characterized by an increased content of biogenic elements carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen [1,2,3]. These horizons are among the most fertile zones
