abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine the content of Pb, Zn, and Cu in the soils of Roztocze National Park. Both forest soils and arable soils were examined. The soils were classified as rusty soils and they consisted of loose sands and slightly-loamy sands. The study showed that lead and zinc were more cumulated in the Ap horizons than in the C horizons of the soils. The amount of lead and zinc in the investigated soils was at the level which allowed the soils to be classified as not contaminated. Concentration of lead was higher in the forest soils, and concentration of zinc was higher in the arable soils of Roztocze National Park. No apparent cumulation of copper was found in the Ap horizon. Moreover, the content of copper was evenly spread over the profiles of the soils examined, and did not depend on how the soils were used.
