This paper presents the study of toxicological state of the soil. It shows ecological and microbiological properties of the soil mantle in the areas of technological environmental impact and evaluates changes in the number of soil microorganisms as a result of toxic contamination of urban soil at different distances from the Moscow loop highway, and also as a result of dumping aluminum foundry slag in Orel region. Soil-inhabiting invertebrates species composition was evaluated at different soil contamination conditions. It was proven that the state of microbiocenosis changes depending on the intensity and character of the anthropogenic impact. It was established that soil fermentation and microbiological activity changes depending on the value of the cumulative heavy metals’ build-up coefficient. Study of interelement ties between the heavy metals concerned showed that they too may have the same anthropogenic origin regardless of their sources of origin. Pollution index indicates medium to high level of soil contamination in explored urban territories where vehicle emission is the main source of pollution, and dangerously high contamination of light-gray soil in the small settlement impacted by a nearby slag disposal site.

“…Subsequently, the verification of erosion processes was carried out using the Edelman soil probe with the possibility of drilling up to 500 cm with a diameter of 50 mm. In 51 drilled soil probes, the thickness of the humus horizon, the presence of soil horizons, the depth of ploughing, the type of the soil-forming substrate and the thickness of the accumulated material were determined there [47].…”

The water erosion research was carried out in the lowland type of hilly landscape. The aim was to monitor and evaluate the importance of environmental factors (steepness of slope, relief shapes, aspect, slope length, combination slope length (L) and slope (S)—LS factor, types of land use changes) for the development of water erosion. We focused on the identification of areas threatened by erosion by interpreting aerial photographs from several time periods. This was followed by verification of erosion using soil probes. We identified 408.44 ha of areas affected by erosion, and measured the depth of soil and “A” horizons thickness. The environmental factors were modeled in geographical information systems by tools for spatially oriented data. Subsequently, the influence and significance of individual environmental factors were compared, and the probability of erosion was statistically estimated. The decisive factors in the formation of erosive surfaces are the LS factor and the slope. We also consider the factor of the relief shape to be important. The shape did not appear to be very significant as a separately evaluated factor, but all convex parts correlate with the identified erosion surfaces. The susceptibility of erosion related to the aspect of the slopes to the cardinal directions has not been confirmed. Types of land use changes with the most significant relation of erosion were confirmed in areas of strong intensification. We confirmed the importance of factors and land use for the development of erosion processes.

Soil erosion and the loss of soil organic carbon (SOC) pools are considered serious environmental problems in undulating landscapes on loess covers, accompanied in some areas, such as south Poland, by the physical degradation of chernozemic soils. The aim of the present study was to identify the scale and reasons for spatial variation of the SOC pools in the intensely cultivated Luvic Phaeozems in one of the unique patches of chernozemic soils in Poland. This study, carried out in a soil catena located in the undulating Carpathian Foreland in south-east Poland, has demonstrated that the SOC pools can greatly differ on a very small scale, even in relatively less differentiated landscapes and in soils classified into the same group. The scale and reasons for the differentiation of the SOC pools depend on the method (depth) of calculation. The spatial differences were smaller and were mainly related to the SOC concentrations and the bulk density of the topsoil horizons, when calculated for depths of 0–30 cm and 0–50 cm. On the other hand, the SOC pools calculated for the 0–100 cm soil layer differed most significantly between the profiles in the catena, representing a continuous growing trend from the uppermost towards the lowermost part of the catena, and were clearly related to the total thickness of the humus horizon(s). The latter findings confirm that sheet erosion has a major impact on the spatial variation of SOC pools in an agricultural landscape. However, soil morphology and the distribution of SOC across the soil profiles suggest additional influences from historical pedogenesis and modern farming technology. The presence of black, thick and humus-rich chernic horizons in all soils across the catena indicates that modern farming must not degrade the soils, but, on the contrary, it can help in the restoration of even neo-formation of chernozemic soils (Phaeozems), if oriented towards the conservation of humus content, soil structure, and biological activity.
