Abstract

Excessive wetting significantly affects the physicochemical, chemical, and biological properties of soils and changes the valence of Fe and Mn and the fractional composition of their compounds, as well as the compounds of the microelements and heavy metals bound to them. It was found that the metals are subdivided into three groups with respect to the soil wetting conditions: (1) the iron-group metals, the state of which is determined by the soil wetting conditions, the development of the reduction processes, and the status of the Fe and Mn compounds as the main sorption complexes closely bound to Co and Ni; (2) the Cu and Pb compounds, the status of which depends on the soil wetting and redox conditions and which are closely bound to organic matter and Fe and Mn compounds; and (3) the Zn and Cd compounds, the status of which little depends on the soil wetting and redox conditions and which are characterized by a low affinity for Fe, Mn, and organic compounds.
