Biogeochemical Migration of Elements within the Lake Watershed of a Reference Site (Valdai Upland)

This study concerns the distribution of elements in the atmospheric precipitation–throughfall–soil water system of the Gusinoe Lake watershed in the Valdai Upland. The chemical compositions of precipitation, throughfall, and soil water, as well as soils, are determined. Element budgets are calculated in the soil profile studied for the summer–autumn period. Estimates are made of the soil enrichment in elements and the intensity of element migration in soil water.
