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
