FIGURE 1 Map of distribution of sampling sites 1–14 and
magnesite processing factories in Lubeník (A) and Jelšava (B). Data on
the amount of alkaline emissions deposition are based on findings of
Turčan consulting (1992).
FIGURE 2 Mean ± standard deviation of a) total and b) available
magnesium, c) total and available calcium, d) pHH2O and
carbonates content (CO32-) in soil
affected by alkaline dust deposition in the vicinity of magnesite
processing factories; sampling sites correspond with that in Figure 1
FIGURE 3 The dynamic changes in a) total and b) available
magnesium, c) total and d) available calcium content, e)
pHH2O and f) carbonates content depending on the
direction of alkaline emissions spreading
FIGURE 4 Mean ± standard deviation of a) total and b) available
zinc, copper, lead and nickel in soil affected by alkaline dust
deposition in the vicinity of magnesite processing factories; sampling
sites correspond with that in Figure 1
FIGURE 5 Mean ± standard deviation of a) total
(CT) and labile (CL) soil organic
carbon, b) activity of alkaline and acid phosphatases, c) dehydrogenases
and d) catalase, in soil affected by alkaline dust deposition in the
vicinity of magnesite processing factories; sampling sites correspond
with that in Figure 1
FIGURE 6 The dynamic changes in a) total (CT)
and b) labile (CL) organic carbon depending on the
direction of alkaline emissions spreading
