Peculiar features of the Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Fe, Mn and Cr lateral migration in geosystems with copper-pyritic and copper-nickel-cobalt mineralization are presented. The elemental removal and accumulation estimated for soils have provided formulas for landscapes from cascade-type geosystems. Heavy metal migration within conjugated landscapes shows regular features, characterizing the eastern slope of the South Urals as an indivisible open geosystem of regional level. -English summary
