Abstract
By the method of briogeochemical indication using moss Pleurozium schreberi (Brid.) Mitt. as an indicator, on the territory of Northern Ukraine, the features and regularities of the entry into the surface atmosphere, migration and sedimentation in it of K, Ca, S, Mg, Al, P, Fe, Mn, Na, Zn, Ba, Ti, Sr, B, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cr, V, Se, Cd, Co were studied. For each element, maps of its content in moss are compiled. A database of these contents (131 sampling points) was studied using factor analysis and biplot methods. This made it possible, with a satisfactory degree of reliability, to name the main causes of atmospheric pollutants entering the air, their migration in it, and sedimentation on the day surface. To study the features of the spatial distribution of the levels of chemical elements in P. schreberi moss, a variogram analysis method was used. It was established that according to the most general rules of this distribution, the studied chemical elements are combined into four groups: Fe, Mn, Se; Mg, Zn, Cu, Cr, Cd, Co; K, P, Ba, Ti, Sr, Ni, Pb; and Ca, S, Al, Na, B, V. The groups are distinguished by the distribution of anomaly spots in space, the size of the anomalies and their contrast, as well as the anisotropy and isotropy of the configuration of the atmogeochemical field, the distribution of the concentration values along the meridional and latitudinal rhombuses.
