ECOLOGICAL STATE OF MOUNTAIN-MEADOW AND MEADOW-STEPPE SOILS OF GEGHAMA RIDGE
Abstract
The article presents the ecological assessment of the Geghama ridge soils for the content of heavy metals (HM) in them. Based on the results of the research, the presence of heavy metals in various types and subtypes of soils, their distribution pattern and migration along soil layers have been established. A correlation between the content of heavy metal forms in soil, the amount of humus and physico-chemical indicators of soils have been revealed. The content of heavy metals along the soil profile of Gegham ridge is decreasing downward and in some HM (Cd, Cu) it exceeds clarke.
