PEDOGEOCHEMICAL FEATURES OF SILICON IN SALT AND LIGHT SEROZEMS

Abstract

Based on our own and literary materials, the paper presents materials on the content of silicon in the lithosphere, soil, water, plants, and also in some silicate compounds. In addition, the contents of gross and mobile forms, as well as the number of atoms, oxides, eluvial-accumulative coefficients, migration and accumulation of silicon in natural and anthropogenic solonchaks, as well as in irrigated light gray soils, are given.
