Geochemical Aspects of the Technology for Restoration of Vegetation Cover on Industrially Polluted Peat Soil Using Serpentine Materials
摘要
Abstract
Factors influencing the geochemical migration of elements during the development of artificial phytocenoses on industrially polluted peat soil with a high level of copper and nickel content using serpentine-containing materials are considered. Monitoring of the remediation sites during a four-year field experiment showed that the grass cover is capable of sustainable functioning by neutralizing the acidity of peat soil, reducing the toxicity of soil solutions, and eliminating the imbalance of macronutrients. Serpentine minerals act as an alkaline barrier, reducing the intensity of migration of copper and nickel compounds.
