Elemental Chemical Composition of Soils of the South of West Siberia and Factors that Determine It

A. I. SYSO, V. B. ILYIN, A. S. CHEREVKO

Abstract

On the basis of studying the content and proportions. Spatial and profile distribution of trace elements in the soil cover of the south of West Siberia, the main factors determining the elemental chemical composition of soils are indicated.  It is demonstrated that  the trace element composition of soils depends on 1) geological peculiarities of the regions of formation of the initial material for the soil-forming rocks and the types of its transportation; 2) the patterns of distribution of sediments with respect to power, mineralogical and granular-metrical composition; 3) transformation of sediments during their accumulation and soil formation.
