Abstract

The effect of the hydromorphism degree on the content and profile distribution of the microelements (Mn, Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, and Cd) was studied in a conjugate series of Kamennaya Steppe soils containing segregated agrochernozems, hydrometamorphized agrochernozems, and agrohumus-hydrometamorphic typical soils. An attempt was made to reveal the types and subtypes in the profile distributions of the total and mobile heavy metals. It was found that the distributions of the total and acid-extractable heavy metals followed an accumulation type in the profiles of all the studied soils. An eluvial type of distribution was revealed for the mobile microelements. A correlation between the properties of the soils and the contents of the elements in the soil profile was shown.
