geochemistry of vanadium in soils of forest ecosystems of the prysamar’ja dniprovske region

Content and distribution of total and mobile forms of trace element Vanadium in the soils of forest and forb-fescue-stipa steppe ecosystems within the Prysamar’ja Dniprovske were studied. It was ascertained, that the gross content of Vanadium in these soils vary from 49 in the pinery-sod soil to 210 mg×kg–1 in chernozem improved by forest.The conent of mobile forms vary from 3 in chernozem to 20 mg×kg–1 in flood pratal-forest soil. Percentage of Vanadium mobility in studied soils was from 1.6 in top horizon of chernozem to 30 % in the mother rock of pinery-sod soil.
