Valerko R. Heavy metals in urboedaphotopes and phytocenoses of Zhytomyr and its suburban zone

3.Obgect of the research:the regularities of heavy metals pollution of urboedaphotopes and phytocenoces of urban zones under the action of anthropogenic factors and its influence on the ecological functions of derno-podzolic soil. Methods: field, laboratory, biological, comparative calculation, measuring weight and statistical. Theoretical results: the regularities of heavy metals migration from soil surface to crop produce on the territory of the urban and suburban zones of Zhytomyr have been established and the influence of complex heavy metals pollution on the ecological functions of derno-podzolic soil has been confirmed. Practical results: the paper determines the indicators of polyelemental heavy metals pollution of derno-podzolic and develops the methods of its detoxication. Scientific novelty: the paper for the first time estimates the levels of copper, zinc, lead and cadmium pollution of urboedaphotopes and phytocenoces in Zhytomyr’s urban and recreation zones as well as that of soil and cropproduce grown in the private sector within the 15 km suburban zone.
