This study was conducted to investigate the chemical speciation of yttrium and scandium in selected types of soils and also determined the total content and profile distribution of those elements. The research was performed on soil samples from forest areas in Puszcza Borecka (Poland) known as a non-contaminated site. Soil samples were collected from natural brown, lessive and rusty soil profiles. The sequential extraction procedure was applied to separate fractions of scandium and yttrium according to the Tessier method. The range of total content of scandium and yttrium was respectively: 0.63-6.48 mg kg⁻¹ and 2.25 to 27.93 mg kg⁻¹. Scandium and yttrium occurred predominantly in residual fraction (F5) in each genetic horizon. Also both elements occurred mainly in fraction bound to organic matter (F4). The mean percentage content of scandium measured in mobile fractions (∑F1-F2) reached about 3% (in Bbr, Bt horizons) to 14% (in Bv horizons) in relation to the total content of the element in the analysed soils. The percentage content of yttrium measured in mobile fractions reached about 4% (in A, Bv horizons) to 28% in Bt horizons in relation to the total content of the element in forest soils of Puszcza Borecka.
