Abstract

Analyses of some physicochemical properties of soil samples from six of the most risky sites in mining territories around Kajaran Town and from unpolluted site as a control revealed that the studied soils were basically weakly eroded, and they were classified from moderately bad to good according to texture. In some soil samples much stoniness was observed. The root systems were comparatively well-developed almost in all soil samples and they were rated from medium to good. Experiments have led us to the assumption that the erosion processes in studied sites were conditioned by natural climatic conditions, high slope gradients and high anthropogenic impact.
