Ecomonitoring study of the condition of soil cenoses from heavy metals contaminated grounds.

摘要

The condition of mesobiotic and microbiotic soil coenosis in the area of Non-Ferrous Metals Plant of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, was studied. Soil content of heavy metals such as lead, zinc, copper and cadmium was reported. The study encompassed two seasons-- spring and autumn of 2000. The following ecological properties were recorded -- density, frequency and abundance of mesobiotic coenosis. The condition of microbiotic coenosis was studied by means of microbiological analysis. The negative effect of heavy metals in soil on both geo-biota types was established.
