- Abstract
The article presents a study investigating on the effectiveness of plant roots and organic waste soil amendment in stabilizing lead which came from pellets in shooting range soils. A percolation test was conducted on unplanted microcosms and planted Scots pine on a lead-contaminated soil as well as soil amendment with peat. Peat amendment eliminates lead in mineral layer soil while plants also take up lead present in soil. Minor effect was observed in lead movement in planted Scots pine added with peat.
