Biogeochemical characteristics of the root layer of herbaceous plants in recultivated areas of man-made

Abstract

The introduction of the work substantiates the relevance of studying the biogeochemistry of the root layer of herbaceous plants growing on man-made waste from coal mining and iron ore enrichment after 40 years of reclamation. The main part of the report is devoted to the results of determining the gross content of heavy metals and metalloids, Sorg., residual toxicity, occurrence and growth characteristics of the bacterium Azotobacter chroococcum in embryos and background soil under similar plants. It is shown that during the long-term development of embryosems on waste of different origin, a high pool of heavy metals and metals is preserved in them, and Sorghum accumulates. In the area of coal mining around the roots of the clover, the maximum concentrations of Pb are detected, while cereals - Br. On the forested tails of the iron ore agglomeration, the trend is different: Ca, Ni, Cu, Mn, Zn are concentrated around the roots of cereals, and As is near the roots of the clover. However, the residual toxicity is manifested only on the tailings of the iron ore agglomeration. It has been established that the occurrence of azotobacter in the root layer of different plants is ubiquitous, but in the embryos of the forested tailings pond, the bacterial populations are heterogeneous, they contain donkey strains showing luminescence, rhizoid growth type and antagonism. Around the roots of the clover, conditions were formed that were less favorable for reproduction than under cereals. The data obtained expand knowledge about the role of phytobiomes in the migration of chemical elements at man-made facilities, can be taken into account when developing toxicity neutralization and in predicting the effectiveness of biological reclamation.
