Studies of technogenic soils in Poland: past, present, and future perspectives
2020
Gleby występujące na obszarach silnie przekształconych przez człowieka były przez długi czas ignorowane w dyskursie naukowym. Również gospodarcze wykorzystanie tych gleb było ogra-niczone ze względu na ich nieproduktywność. Jedynie duże tereny pogórnicze zrekultywowane w kierunku leśnym lub rolnym były bardziej interesujące zarówno z punktu widzenia badańnaukowych, jak i ich praktycznego wykorzystania. W przypadku terenów pogórniczych termin „teren bezglebowy” był używany przez długi czas, zwłaszcza w odniesieniu do terenów nie rekul-tywowanych. W artykule opisano historyczne badania gleb technogenicznych w Polsce (opubli-kowane do końca XX wieku). Gleby technogeniczne terenów miejskich i p…
SOILS AND PLANTS IN AN ANTHROPOGENIC DUMP OF THE KOKDZHON PHOSPHORITE MINE (KAZAKHSTAN)
2017
Soil development is a crucial aspect in the process of mine spoil restoration and is also critical for the establishment of the vegetation. In this short paper, we present the features of mine proto-soils (i.e. soils at the early stage of development) and the natural vegetation species colonizing mine sites in a dry arid environment of Kazakhstan characterized by surface disturbance due to mine activity to access phosphorite deposit. These disturbed soils showed morphological features very different from each other (particularly horizons depth and sequence), even if the main chemical features were quite homogeneous. This is reasonably linked to the features of the Human Transported Material…
The influence of industrial emissions of zinc plant on the properties of chernozem soil.
2018
East Kazakhstan is a storehouse of ore raw materials. Here the main ore-mining industrial objects are concentrated. Most of these deposits and ore deposits are characterized by polymetallic and substantially lead-zinc ore composition. When developing ore deposits, the soil-vegetation cover of the territories is disturbed, and sometimes their complete destruction occurs. On the investigated object leached and podzolized chernozems are widespread. The study of the soil cover at the territories adjacent to the zinc plant showed a negative impact of the plant's emissions on the soil and vegetation cover. Thus, where there is a major outflow from the wind rose, there are manifestations of deep e…
