Abstract
The survey of soil cover of Novosibirsk Scientific Center showed that the soils prevalent here, such as sod-podzolic and gray forest ones, had been conserved in the native state in the areas with the low human impact. As for the areas with the reduced human impact, local pollution with phosphorus, calcium and heavy metals was revealed in natural soils and urbanozems; at the same time, complete deterioration of agrochemical properties was discovered in the soils of experimental fields.
