SOIL-ECOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF URBAN SOIL (BY THE EXAMPLE OF CITY OF ODESSA)
Journal Title: Вісник Одеського національного університету. Географічні та геологічні науки - Year 2016, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
Purpose of the article is to identify the impact of automobile transport emissions and industry to physical and chemical properties of soils of Odessa. Data & Methods. These materials obtained as a result of their own field and analytical researches carried out during 2014-2015 years concerning the impact of automobile transport and industry on physical and chemical properties of soil in the city. In the research it is used common methods of field and laboratory analytical investigations, physical and chemical studies and assessments of soils of Odessa. Soil profiles were laid in areas with different types of urban phytocenosis, such as park area, botanical garden, roadside lawn, industrial zone. Analytical researches of physical and chemical properties of soil were carried out by generally standardized methods. Results. Conducted researches indicate that motor vehicle and industry emissions significantly affect the change in physical and chemical properties of urban soils, impairing their ecological condition. Physical and chemical properties of soils of Odessa are much different from their natural counterparts. The main differences are: shift pH to the alkaline reaction, increased toxic salts, high rate of humus, uneven distribution of nutrients, high content of natrium cations as part of the soil-absorbing complex. Especially unfavorable conditions for plant growth in the city have soils that are located within the joint impact of industrial and road transport emissions, which can negatively affect as the growth and development of plants as the health of urban populations.
