The study of Antarctic ecosystem provides a valuable insightinto the nature development on the Earth. Biocenosis formationand colonization of land by organisms are noticeable especiallyin newly-deglaciated areas. In this research, soil profiledevelopment in the coastal zone of James Ross Island wasinvestigated. The main objective was the characterisation ofsoil horizons. The contents of As, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr,Cu, Fe, K,Mg, Mn, Ni, P, Se and Zn were measured using ICP-MS technique.Soil parameters like organic carbon content, pH and content ofsub-63 micro_m fraction were also determined. Based on theresults obtained, the mineral-depleted and mineral-enrichedlayers in the soil profile were distinguished. With increasingdepth, the shallow soil profile consisted mainly of weatheredregolith. Apparently, the basic processes which areprerequisite for the development of soil ecosystem in thestudied area were confirmed.
