Abstract

Reclamation of disturbed lands is aimed at restoring the ecological functions of the soil or man-made surface formations replacing it. In the process of eliminating oil pollution on an area of 0.73 hectares, dark humus soil was destroyed and a loamy carbonate lithostrate was formed. It is of interest to study the properties of the lithostratum, which ensure the fulfillment of environmental functions. The agrochemical properties of the lithostrate (slightly alkaline reaction of the environment, increased supply of mobile phosphates, potassium, calcium) indicate satisfactory potential for the restoration of the grass ecosystem. Reduced activity of soil enzymes (urease and invertase) is associated with a lack of organic matter in the lithostrate. The phytotoxicity of the lithostrate was established, due to the residual content of petroleum products in the amount of 60–140 mg/kg and manifested in the physiological and biochemical parameters of the test culture. A comprehensive assessment based on the calculation of optimization coefficients showed that the resource (agrochemical) and environmental potential of the surface layers (0–20 and 20–40 cm) of the lithostratum is inferior compared to dark humus soil.
