Role of amphibians and reptiles in creation of an ecological buffer against technogenic pollution
It has shown that fossorial activity of common spadefoot Pelobates fuscus (Laurenti, 1768) under conditions of heavy metals pollution of soils is able to reduce the level of the metals in soil. Tropho-metabolic activity (faeces excretion) of amphibians (P. fuscus) and reptiles (sand lizard Lacerta a...

| description | It has shown that fossorial activity of common spadefoot Pelobates fuscus (Laurenti, 1768) under conditions of heavy metals pollution of soils is able to reduce the level of the metals in soil. Tropho-metabolic activity (faeces excretion) of amphibians (P. fuscus) and reptiles (sand lizard Lacerta agilis Linnaeus, 1758) decreases the content of heavy metals in soils. |
