Chemical elements in the mineralization of plant residues under soil pollution with heavy metals

  • Published:
Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

Mineralization processes of plant residues in background and anthropogenically affected areas are analyzed. The multielement composition of plant residues before and after their exposure in soil is provided with the help of synchrotron radiation (XPA SR). It is demonstrated that the destruction process is accompanied by changes in the chemical composition of plant residues. Chemical elements with concentrations increasing as they are filtrated from soil into the exposed samples are determined. Agrobotanical groups of plants with the highest infiltration rate are revealed.
