Vg. Mineev et al., Changes in the properties of soddy-podzolic soil and its microbocenosis under intensive anthropogenic impact, EURAS SOIL, 32(4), 1999, pp. 413-417
The long-term application of physiologically acid mineral fertilizers to so
ddy-podzolic soils significantly deteriorated their physicochemical propert
ies, which resulted in the mobilization of heavy metals. The share of funga
l microflora enlarged in the microbial community. The diversity of actinomy
ces decreased, and the humus formation became of the fulvate-humate type. L
iming of acid soils in combination with the application of organic and mine
ral fertilizers favored the optimization of properties of soddy-podzolic so
il.
