Popis: The article considers the changes in some agrochemical parameters and the content of plumbum in the soil cover of a medium-sized urban ecosystem after the introduction of quarantine measures in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic. It has been determined that the blocking of anthropogenic activity did not affect the content of humus. There were changes in soil pH, which led to the transition from an alkaline reaction to a neutral one. The amount of fertilizer elements (NPK) in the soil in the post-quarantine period has been increased. The content of the mobile (active) form of plumbum within the city has been halved on average. In general, the impact of quarantine from Covid-19 on the condition of the soil cover as well as on air and surface water can be preliminary considered as positive.
