Investigations were carried out on the composition and content of amino acids bound in humic acids (HA) isolated from mineral and mineral-organic soils under the shelter-belt (biogeochemical barrier). It was confirmed that the distance from the edge of the shelter-belt and the kind of soil on which the biogeochemical barrier is localized, exerts some considerable influence on the total amount of amino acids bound in HA. The shelter-belt appearing on mineral soils causes a decrease in the total amount of bound amino acids in major periods of sampling. A contrary occurrence was observed in mineral-organic soils.
