Changes in the chemical properties and characteristics of humus in soddy-podzolic soil due to main pipeline construction

Resumo

The multiyear dynamics of the acid–base parameters and humus characteristics of soddy-podzolic soil affected by main pipeline (MP) construction was studied. Distinctions between the properties of technogenically disturbed soil and soil unaffected by MP construction observed 1, 10, 15, and 30 years after construction have been characterized. The deterioration of physical and chemical properties and clearly displayed features of technogenic degradation of humus have been identified throughout the entire observation period.
