GRAIN SIZE DISTRIBUTION OF METALS IN SOILS OF A GULLY SYSTEM (SOUTHEASTERN SMOLENSK-MOSCOW UPLAND)
Abstract
The lateral distribution of Fe, Mn, Ti, Zr, Ni, Co, Cr, Zn, Pb in 1–0,25, 0,25–0,05, 0,05–0,01, 0,01–0,001 and <0,001 mmgrain-size fractions of humus soil horizons was studied in a gully system located in the central Protva River basin (forest zone). The metals tend to accumulate in certain grain-size fractions: Ti – in all silt fractions; Zr – in the coarse silt fraction; Zn and Pb – in the fractions finer than0,01 mm. Clay fraction is enriched in Mn, Co, Ni, Cr, Fe; second maximum of these metals is restricted to the coarsegrained and medium-grained sand. The particle size defines the variability of metal contents and their lateral distribution across the gully catchment area, its slopes, bottom and fan. A relatively uniform distribution of metals is found in clays, as well as in medium- and fine-grained silt, while sand fractions show a clearly uneven distribution of elements. Lateral patterns of metal distributions are dependent on different factors including the origin of soil particles (sand fraction) and the changes occurring during their migration (sand, silt, and clay fractions).
