Monitoring of Micronutrient Content in Dark Chestnut Soil and Wheat and Oat Tissues under Irrigation with Quarry Water from the Tugnui Coal Mine (Western Transbaikalia)

The relevance of developing effective land use methods is undeniable, especially in connection with increasing climate aridity. Climate warming and the associated increase in the duration of dry periods lead to the expansion of desertification processes, reduction of forest areas, and soil degradation. This is particularly pronounced in the Baikal Natural Territory. Under the conditions prevailing here, effective agricultural land use is possible only on the basis of irrigation, including the use of quarry water. It is known that wastewater can act as environmental pollutants, necessitating monitoring of micronutrient content in the soil–water– plant system.
