Total soil heavy metal contamination in various biotops at the territory of Vishersky reserve

The paper presents the results of total heavy metal contamination (Zc) in various biotopes of Vishersky reserve. Eight sample areas featured by spruce-fir-sorrel-fine-fern forest, birch-fir mixed forest, fir-spruce-sorrel-fine-fern forest, fir-spruce bilberry forest, sparse birch-fir montane forest, bilberry spruce forest, broken mixed bilberry forest and broken spruce-sorrel-fern forest were investigated. Permissible levels for all sample areas by multi-approached Zc indexes calculation were revealed.
