Br. Grigoryan et al., HEAVY-METALS IN SOME COMPONENTS OF TERRESTRIAL AND AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMSIN THE VALLEY OF THE MESHA RIVER, Russian journal of ecology, 27(4), 1996, pp. 241-244
The floodplain complex is considered as an independent type of ecosyst
em. An attempt is undertaken to take into account the relationships an
d interdependences of the concentrations of polluting metals (Cu, Zn,
Pb, Ni, Cd, Cr, Mn) in parallel systems: soil-natural waters, sail-veg
etation, water-vegetation, and water-bottom sediments. Biogeochemical
research in the ecosystem is conducted by the method of ecoprofiles.
