Abstract


Relation between critical heavy metals concentration in soil, allowed by European and USA regulations of protection of the environment when sewage sludge is used in agriculture, and climate is discussed in this paper. Later, Madrid region case is studied. The altitude in Madrid region and the latitude in European continent have a similar influence over pedoclimate, increasing both oligotrophic and acid properties of soil when the altitude and latitude rise. Therefore, Guadarrama Mountains soils are as vulnerable to heavy metals application as North European soils.
