The quality of environment and green spaces in urban areas directly related to the state of soil cover which subjected to a number of anthropogenic pressures. Physical and chemical parameters of urban soils are changed under the use of de-icing agents and detergents, air dust settling, proximity to highways and regular overlaying of degraded soils with soil material based on peat. Urban soils contamination and related nutrient disbalance lead to suppression of trees, shrubs and grasses and ultimately degrades the quality of the urban environment. The objective of this study was to describe the soil pollution levels in parks of Lomonosov Moscow State university. The comparison is done between two localities covered by trees and those of opened areas poured with new soil material.
