Abstract
The method of biogeochemical indication was used for the assessment of the anthropogenic geochemical impact on the specially protected territory of an important monument of nature, culture and history of Ukraine – Trostyanets arboretum. As bioindicators of chemical elements content in the atmosphere the epiphytic lichens of Parmelia sulcata Tayl., Parmelina tiliacea (Hoffm.) Hale, Xanthoria parietina (L.) Th. Fr., Hypogymnia physodes (L.) Nyl. and Evernia prunastri (L.) Ach. were used. For the biogeochemical indication of soil and groundwater conditions the leaves of Norway maple (Acer platanoides L.) were used. In the above-mentioned indicator plants the content of 20 micro- and macroelements (Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, V, Zn, Ba, Ca, Co, K, Mg, Mn, Na, S, Sr, Ti, Se) was detected (by ICP OE spectrometry). The obtained data of biogeochemical indication of the content of chemical elements have been processed and interpreted using the geostatistical method of composite biplot and the method of triangular diagrams. Atmogeochemical and lithohydrogeochemical fields were studied and the causes of formation of anthropogenic geochemical loads were elucidated and their potential impact on the unique landscapes of Trostyanets arboretum was shown.
