Abstract

For the first time ever the complex approach was realized at ecological state specification of urban ecosystems of differently functional zones of Blagoveshchensk (Amur region). The capability reconciliation of elemental analyses data within soils biodiagnostics with 5-levels scale of loss assessment quality of natural environment was revealed. The investigation results testify the soils of recreational zone are in biological balance zone. The soils of settlement and transport zone with medium level of pollution by heavy metals are in transit from standard to ecological risk. The soils of industrial zone with high level of pollution are in decay zone, where deviation of biotic and physical and chemical parameters toward natural background range from —39 до +49.

Keywords

biodiagnostics, heavy metals, urban soil, five-level scale of the loss of environmental quality.
