Abstract

An assessment was made of the ecological state of soils undergoing anthropogenic stress, the soils of the representative сatens of the southern part of the city of Kursk. Using the catenary method, the main features of vertical and lateral heavy metal distributions in different in the degree of anthropogenic transformation of the soils of the city of Kursk are revealed. Certain levels and character of the soils of elementary geochemical landscapes (eluvial (supra-flooded terraces) and transusperactic (floodplains)) by heavy metals and their competitive relationships for their connection with the organic matter of the soil are considered.

Keywords
