Biological properties of soils of the "Nadedzhdinsky" and "Severo-Kamyshansky" oil fi elds located in the territory of the "Mekletsky" reserve

The most acute environmental problem in many regions of Russia and other countries is environmental pollution with oil and oil products. Soil pollution with oil products can occur in various emergencies in areas of oil production and processing, when oil pipelines break, which causes leakage and spills on the soil surface, as well as in places where oil products are distributed. The purpose of this study is to study the biological properties of soils in Kalmykia under conditions of oil and oil products pollution.
