One of the most urgent problems on which current studies of Arctic and subarctic territories are focused is how permafrost thawing can affect organic carbon fluxes and how these fluxes can influence the geochemistry of the surface and ground water. In addition to disturbing the carbon balance, permafrost thawing provokes the release of a significan...

To assess the ecological state and anthropogenic transformation of the Taimyr soil cover, the composition and properties of soils in natural and technogenic landscapes were studied in the northwest of the Central Siberian Plateau and in the North Siberian Lowland. Highly skeletic lithostrats (Skeletic Technosols) and peat heavy loamy organolithostr...

The features of self-restoring of plant communities in connection with the edaphic conditions of the dumps of anthracite deposits are revealed. It is shown that the development of tree communities is confined to areas with bumpy terrain, and grassy to horizontal areas.

For hundreds of years, humans have been a soil formation factor. With the recent industrial development of vast territories, the formation of soils in technogenic and post-anthropogenic conditions requires more attention. This study reviews the literature on the soils of human-transformed or human-made landscapes (technogenic landscapes), in which...

Abstract—The article is aimed to assessing the potential for humus accumulation in soils of dry steppes of the Central Tuva and Turan–Uyuk basins of Tuva. The research into organo–mineral interactions as the main mechanism for the stabilization of organic matter and its accumulation in the soil form the methodological basis of this study. The resul...

Due to the increasing volume of anthracite production in the Novosibirsk region, the area of disturbed territories is also increasing. In this regard, the problem of restoring ecosystems on dumps is acute. The vast majority of research on the restoration of man-made ecosystems is aimed at studying any one of their components. The purpose of this wo...
