RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VEGETATION BIODIVERSITY AND SOIL FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY OF ALKALIZED SOIL IN THE EMISSION AREA OF MAGNESIUM FACTORY JELSAVA - LUBENIK (SLOVAKIA)
Abstract
A strong alkaline reaction is caused by emissions from alkaline magnesium factory currently localized in JelпїЅava and LubenпїЅk (Slovakia). The area JelпїЅava пїЅ LubenпїЅk with specific alkaline pollutants, is one of the most devastated regions of Slovakia and with the alarming degree of environmental damage. Even so, the pollution fallout remains enormous and devastating. The work examines the relationship between vegetation diversity and soil functional diversity in the emission field of magnesium factory JelпїЅava пїЅ LubenпїЅk (Slovakia). The research was carried out in 2016 at the 12 research areas which are used as permanent grassland and is in emission field of magnesium factory JelпїЅava пїЅ LubenпїЅk (Slovakia). Chemical properties of soil reaction were studied by potentiometric (pH/KCl). From the biological properties the functional diversity of soil microbiological communities have been monitored using methods BiologпїЅ Eco Plates support device ELx808 пїЅ Absorbance Microplate Reader. The date one normalized parameter AWCD (Average Well Color Development) was calculated according to Garland and functional diversity of soil microbiological communities was calculated for BIOLOG data by classical Shannon diversity index (HпїЅ) and equitability index. Diversity of grassland communities was monitored at selected localities in the form of plots on the field of 16 m2. Vegetation was assessed by Braun пїЅ Blanquet scale. Diversity of flora was assessed by Shannon index HпїЅ and Equatability index. The results of field and laboratory research were evaluated in the program Statistica and Past. In conclusion we can say that a spray particle of free magnesium oxide (MgO) has strongly influenced the reaction of the soil diversity and vegetation cover.
