The results of field, analytical, and experimental research at a number of production facilities reflect the properties of oil-contaminated soils in 3 landscapes: the permafrost treeless Arctic ecosystem, boreal forest, and temperate-climate grassland-woodland ecotone. Laboratory studies have revealed the concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons in soils, ranging from medium levels of 2000-3000 mg/kg to critical figures over 5000 mg/kg, being 2-25 times higher than the permissible content of oil products in soils. The experimentally applied thermal effects for the oil products desorption from the soil allowed finding an optimal regime: the treatment temperature from 25 to 250 °C reduces the concentrations to an acceptable value.

- A study analyzed over 20,000 soil and plant samples in regions like the North Caucasus and Dzungarian Alatau to understand how local plants absorb chemical elements.
- It combined ore prospecting methods with environmental approaches to identify geochemical changes, offering insights for soil phytoremediation.
- The research found that plant element accumulation is influenced by soil element content, species characteristics, and the physical properties of elements, suggesting internal and external factors play significant roles in effective phytoremediation strategies.
