Abstract

Modeling of Trace Elements and Heavy Metals Content in the Steppe Soils of Ukraine

Highlights

IntroductionAccording to the analysis of the available scientific literature, the mobility of trace elements in the soil, their migration capacity, accumulation, removal and availability to agricultural plants are influenced by a number of factors (the content of macronutrients, calcium carbonates, soil moisture, etc.), including the organic matter content and the pH of the soil solution

The copper in soils is present in a divalent form, it has a high migration capacity in an acidic environment, but under the conditions of high acidity, the trace element is fixed by organic matter

Summary

Introduction

According to the analysis of the available scientific literature, the mobility of trace elements in the soil, their migration capacity, accumulation, removal and availability to agricultural plants are influenced by a number of factors (the content of macronutrients, calcium carbonates, soil moisture, etc.), including the organic matter content and the pH of the soil solution. A lot of modern scientists described the mobility of trace elements and concluded that the presence of particles rich in iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide are the most important abiotic factors controlling the behavior of trace elements (Breus et al, 2020). That is, those metals that are sensitive to redox reactions (Co, Fe, Mn), have a significant role in the processes of deposition and dissolution in the soils. Steppe soils were defined as characterized by low supply of agricultural plants with mobile compounds of trace elements (Breus et al, 2021)
