Hydrocarbon Content and Enzymatic Activity of Urban Soils in Kola Subarctic
The soils of the urbanized territories of the Kola SubarcticSubarctic zone have been studied. The content of hydrocarbonsHydrocarbons in soil samples in various functional zones of Murmansk ranged from 57 to 2287 mg/kg. The maximum content of hydrocarbonsHydrocarbons was noted near roads with intensive traffic. The average value of hydrocarbonHydrocarbons content in the residential zone of Murmansk was 538 ± 95 mg/kg, and in the recreational zone—185 ± 50 mg/kg. The biological activity of the urban soilsUrban soils of Murmansk, determined by the activity of soil enzymes, is at medium and high level, but there is a decrease in the activity of hydrolytic enzymes and an increase in the activity of redox enzymes. As a criterion for assessing the level of pollutionPollution, it can use the percentage ratio of hydrocarbonsHydrocarbons to soil organic carbon. In accordance with the method, 60% of the studied samples from the urban soilsUrban soils of Murmansk can be classified as uncontaminated or lightly polluted, and 40%—polluted and highly polluted.
