The work summarizes the results of long-term geoecological studies in the soil cover of the Podkamennaya Tunguska River basin. The samples characterize the upper 20-cm soil layer, which performs the most pronounced integral ecological function and is primarily exposed to negative physical and chemical influences as a result of human economic activities. The obtained background concentrations are typical (representative) for Umbric Podzols, Histic Phaeozem, Dystric Fluvisols, Leptic Fluvisols, Histic Fluvisols Oxyaquic, and Histosols Sapric. Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) were determined through infrared spectrometry. The total content of heavy metals in the studied soils were found by atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Background concentrations were analyzed in accordance with ISO 19258-2018. A total of 456 samples were studied. For background concentration, the values were taken in the range [0; mean + 3σ] mg/kg. Background concentrations were determined for mercury (0.079 mg/kg), lead (18.52 mg/kg), zinc (116.61 mg/kg), arsenic (8.45 mg/kg), cadmium (1.38 mg/kg), nickel (68.76 mg/kg), copper (64.61 mg/kg), petroleum hydrocarbons (361.25 mg/kg), chlorides (30.61 mg/kg), and sulfates (51.46 mg/kg).

Key words:  soils, pedology, background concentrations, pedogeochemical concentration, heavy metals, trace elements, central siberia, podkamennaya tunguska, middle-taiga landscapes, Hg, Pb, Zn, As, Cd, Ni, Cu, petroleum hydrocarbons
