On a 25-year old seed-forest plantation of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in the Altai region, a significant influence of various clones of this species on the content of macro-and trace elements and on the content of heavy metals in the surface layer of soil is found. It is demonstrated that six clones can be promising from the point of view of carrying out some metals from the soil and their fixation in the phytomass. The study permits supplementing and focusing further studies of breeding in the direction of control of the chemical composition and decrease of the volume of works necessary for a detailed estimation of transformation of metals by various arboreal clones under the conditions of a long-term field experience.
