Content of biogenic micro-and macronutrients (Zn, Co, Cr, Na, Ca, Fe) in the eutrophic peat deposit. O.A. GOLUBINA1,2, I.A. PEREDERINA1, E.N. TVERYAKOVA1, Yu.Yu. MIROSHNICHENKO1,3, E.A.

The concentration of biogenic macro- (Na, Ca, Fe) and microelements (Zn, Co, Cr) in peat and bog waters of the Tagan Deposit (Tomsk District, Tomsk Region) was determined by neutron activation analysis. Analysis of samples from several observation points which differ in botanic composition and hydrothermal mode of occurrence showed that the amount of various elements in peat is determined by regional characteristics and botanical composition. From comparative elements concentration analysis, it has been found that concentration of elements varies identically depending on the depth of the peat bog, which indicates typical conditions for the accumulation of these elements. The average concentration of trace elements in the studied peat-bog ecosystem is comparable to the average values of this region.
