Abstract
The complex chemical and biological investigation of soils in a territory adjacent to the storage of chemical weapons was performed for the first time. The biomass of algae and micromycetes (several tons per hectare) found in the soils analyzed was high. Chemical pollution (As and Pb) was shown to cause the development of Fusarium-nematode pathogenic complexes inducing the phytotoxicity of soils. Different species of cyanobacteria play an essential role in the removal of pollutants and phytopathogenic microorganisms from soils.
