Composition of lysimetric waters from soils of the Upper Volga landscapes

The results of six-year-long observations of the chemical composition of lysimetric waters from soils of three biogeocenoses (forest, meadow, and agrocenosis) in the vicinity of the Ivan’kovo water reservoir were analyzed. It was found that the lysimetric waters of in the three biogeocenoses belonged to the class of fresh calcium-bicarbonate waters. Some differences in chemical compositions of these waters were identified; these differences were due to the impact of biogenic, lithogenic, and anthropogenic factors on the soils in which these waters were formed.
