This article provides the results of actual, potential and exchangeable acidity measurements performed in 87 soil profiles located within the upper and middle reaches of the Amur River. Descriptive statistics, correlation and linear regression were used to characterize acidity. It has been established that acidity decreases in the floodplain of the upper and middle reaches of the Amur River in the following direction: alluvial marsh (peat-gley and humus-gley) soils, residually-alluvial (rzhavozems and brunezems) soils, alluvial gray gley soil, alluvial gray humus. The soils of the upper Amur floodplain are more acidic in comparison with the soils of the middle Amur, the average pH KCl values in soils with the same genesis of the former are less by 0.2–0.4 than the ones of the latter. It was revealed that the regression coefficient is indicative of the acid-base functional groups of the soil components which are in charge of soil pH. The coefficient greater than 1 points to the organic nature of acidity; below 1 – to the prevalence of mineral acids.","PeriodicalId":52755,"journal":{"name":"Biulleten'' Pochvennogo instituta im VV Dokuchaeva","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41574875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The topsoils of chestnut and brown aridic soils meet the criteria for the light-humus horizon (AJ), but their values in Munsell readings proved to be lower. In pale soils, the upper horizons were identified as gray-humus instead of light-humus ones as prescribed in the system. The cryohumus AK horizon, diagnostic for cryoaridic soils, is peculiar by the abundance of reddish frost-fragmented plant residues (detritus). We failed to differentiate metamorphic BM and xerometamorphic BMK horizon, they had more features of the latter. Both horizons are similar to the pale-metamorphic BPL horizon in color, although the BPL has a definitely weaker structure displaying some cryogenic features. These are less prominent in cryoaridic soils than in pale soils, hence, the diagnostic BPL horizon in cryoaridic soils may be removed to the category of diagnostic property. A similar re-evaluation may be proposed for the carbonate-textural CAT horizon: to consider it as a diagnostic property in the carbonate-accumulative horizon (ВСАt). The ВСА horizon in all soils studied differed by carbonate pedofeatures, namely, segregations in brown and chestnut soils, impregnations in pale soils, impregnations and coatings in cryoaridic soils.","PeriodicalId":52755,"journal":{"name":"Biulleten'' Pochvennogo instituta im VV Dokuchaeva","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68254165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first method of sample preparation was to apply a sample to a double-sided adhesive tape; the second method involved the deposition of suspensions of the studied samples of certain concentrations on membrane filters. The advantages and disadvantages of each sample preparation method are described. The significant difference in the obtained CA values depending on the sample preparation for measurement was revealed. The method of sample preparation with the use of membrane filters developed by the authors made it possible to reduce the CA measurement error by more than 2 times.

The largest values of the diffusion parameters were obtained for Zn and Cd (n∙10–7 сm2/sec), the smallest values were obtained for Pb and Sb (n∙10–8 сm2/sec). When soil was flooded by waste waters, a reliable convective component of migration for Zn and Sb was noted. At the same time the peak of Zn concentration moved to the depth of 40–60 cm.

More than 120 soil samples were collected for subsequent physical and chemical analyses. Ecological, chemical and physical properties of meadow and steppe soils of Ol’khon district were studied and the results are presented in the article. The research was conducted on the east coast of the Lake Baikal in its central basin, which is most visited by tourists. Several soil types can be found along the coast line and on gently sloped surface nearby, they are: castanozems, umbrisols, cambisols, gray soils, histic fluvisols gleyic, humic fluvisols gleyic, chernozems, umbric fluvisols, cambic fluvisols and other. Owing to a specific environmental conditions some original soil types (for example “chestnut soils”, “castanozems”) can be found nowhere else in the Irkutsk region but only here. The explored soil profiles are mainly thick and stony to various extent (from high to medium),these soils are sandy or sandy loams, rich in humus, predominantly with neutral and weakly alkaline reaction (pH), low content of nitrogen in relation to carbon content (C : N), that creates favorable conditions for preservation of the vegetable remains in meadow landscapes. The conducted research results revealed that soils near touristic tracks and also on the territory of the ancient settlement are polluted by heavy metals, and their content exceeds sanitary and hygienic standards. The ecological condition of soils at the present stage can be characterized as average degree of disturbance resulting from recreational activity. Geochemical barriers are represented by organic and alkaline ones. However, due to the sandy and sandy-loamy soil texture waters of the lake coastal zone can be polluted by heavy metals as well. Soils of meadow-boggy landscapes of the coastal area are not polluted by heavy metals as far as it is a hard-to-reach region for tourists using automobile transport.","PeriodicalId":52755,"journal":{"name":"Biulleten'' Pochvennogo instituta im VV Dokuchaeva","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68253898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
