The paper presented results of a comparison of alluvial soils of different land use at two sites within the National Park "Una". The sites were related to a natural meadow (BUK) and artificial meadow (KLISA). The main objective of the research, in addition to the physical and chemical parameters of soil quality, was to determine the distribution of the total content of cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni) and arsenic (As). The total content of these elements were observed in composite samples at two depths of 0-10 cm and 0-20 cm and horizons profile. Their total content was measured by atomic AAS. The results were analyzed using Kruskal – Wallis test (p≤0.05) using coefficient χ2. The results showed a single legality of the distribution of Cd, Ni and As in samples of soil profile, while the average soil samples showed unique legality of the distribution of observed elements.
