Content and vertical distribution of heavy metals and radionuclides in hydromorphic soils of the forest-steppe zone of the Russian Plain

摘要

Data are presented on the content and vertical distribution of Cu, Zn, Sn, Ni, Pb, Co, Cr, V, Mo, Mn, Zr, Hg, Ga, Ti, and 137Cs in hydromorphic soils of the forest-steppe zone in the Russian Plain. The heavy metals and radionuclides contents in thesoils was related to pedogenesis, particle-size composition, chemical properties, and soil hydromorphism.
