LATERAL DISTRIBUTION OF METAL FORMS IN TUNDRA, TAIGA AND FOREST STEPPE CATENAE OF THE EAST EUROPEAN PLAIN
Abstract
To evaluate the metal migration pathways, we investigated the lateral distribution of exchangeable, organic matter bounded, Fe and Mn oxide fractions of metals, as well as the total content of Fe, Mn, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sr, Zn in a model loamy catenae of the southern Bol’shezemel’skaya tundra, southwestern Mezen’-Vychegda Plain, and Plavsk Plateau. Soils were shown to be depleted in Fe, Sr, and Mn, whereas other metals have close toclarkconcentrations. In the succession of catenae tundra-taiga-forest steppe, the total concentration of Pb decreases, as do the total concentrations of exchangeable compounds of Fe, Cu, Zn and Fe oxide fractions of metals. Contrary, the total content of Fe, Ni, Zn, Cu, Mn, organic matter bounded Pb, Ni, Co and Zn increase. The lateral distribution of metal forms becomes more even in the direction from tundra to taiga, and further to forest steppe catenae.
