In studies on chemical contamination of soils, little attention is paid to disguised solonchaks. This is due to the low significance of disguised solonchaks for agriculture and the lack of significant pockets of chemical contamination in the areas of their extension. At the same time, these soils are widely extended in the coastal landscapes and perform important ecological functions. They are involved in the maintenance of biodiversity and the sustainable functioning of natural ecosystems. As shown by the current study, the contamination by Cr, Ni, Cu, Pb and oil leads to a deterioration of the biological properties of the hydromorphic estuary carbonate solonchak. This means decrease in the total number of bacteria, the activity of catalase and dehydrogenase, cellulolytic ability, abundance of the Azotobacter genus bacteria, as well as worsening indicators of radish seeds germination and initial growth. In terms of toxicity to the biological properties of the investigated marsh solonchak the studied elements form the following sequence: Cr>Cu>Ni>Pb. High toxicity of Cr compared to Pb, Ni and Cu in marsh solonchak is explained by weak alkaline reaction, in which CrO 3 is transformed into highly toxic chromate.

“…Oxidoreductases (catalase, dehydrogenase, peroxidases, and polyphenoloxidases) are functionally necessary for the decomposition of pollutants, the transformation of organic matter, and the maintenance of the metabolism of microorganisms [35,36].

Catalase activity is related to the metabolic activity of aerobic organisms and is often used as one of the indicators of soil fertility.…”

In recent years, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are increasingly used in various industries due to their antibacterial properties, which lead to an increase in pollution of the environment and soil ecosystems. However, the ecological effects of soil pollution by AgNPs were poorly studied than that with AgNPs of other metal-based NPs. The aim of this study is to assess the influence of AgNPs on the biological properties of Haplic Chernozem. Silver was introduced into the soil in the form of AgNPs with a concentration of 0.5; 1; 5; 10; 50, and 100 mg/kg in laboratory conditions. The influence of AgNPs on the biological properties of Haplic Chernozem was assessed 30 days after contamination. The degree of reduction in biological properties depends on the AgNPs concentration in the soil. This study showed that the sensitivity to contamination by AgNPs in the total number of bacteria and enzymatic activity was more than that in the abundance of bacteria of the genus Azotobacter. The integrated index of biological state (IIBS) of Haplic Chernozem was decreased by contamination with AgNPs. Silver nanoparticles in the concentration of 10 mg/kg caused a decrease in the indicator by 13% relative to the control. It also decreased IIBS by doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg by 22 and 27% relative to the control. All used biological indicators could be used for biomonitoring, biodiagnosis, bioindication, and regulation of ecological condition of soil contamination by AgNPs.

The biological activity of soils is an essential parameter of their ecological status. The anthropogenic Heavy Metals (HMs) disturb the normal functioning of soil biota and, hence, the entire soil system. The aim of this work was to estimate the toxicity of loosely bound HM compounds in Haplic Chernozem using parameters of cellulose-degrading and urease activities. Contamination of Haplic Chernozem with Zn, Cd, Cu and Pb enlarged the group of mobile (loosely bound to soil) metal compounds, which includes exchangeable, complexed and specifically sorbed compounds of HMs. The increase of mobile HM forms content in soil inhibited the cellulose-degrading and urease activities after 30 days of the input of metal into the soil. A decrease in the toxic effect of metals on the studied parameters mainly occurred in the next 30 days. It was found that all HM forms similarly affected biological activity parameters. During two months from the moment of soil contamination with HMs, their toxic effect on cellulose-degrading and urease activities decreased. According to the degree of inhibition of biological activity in Haplic Chernozem, the studied metals formed the following series: Cd >Pb > Zn > Cu.
