Analiza składu chemicznego gleby i pokarmu muflonów w Górach Sowich

Paper focuses on content of macro− and microelements as well as heavy metals in the soil and vegetation (herbaceous plants, browsed shoots, peeled bark and browsed needles) constituting a food base of mouflon Ovis musimon. The material was collected from the territory of the mouflon refuges located in the Mouflon Breeding Centre in the Sowie Mountains. The aggregated results were related to the altitude. The analysis of the material did not show deficiency of basic mineral elements. The lead and cadmium levels in the soil and vegetation did not exceed the NRC standards.
