The results of assessing the soil-ecological efficiency of reclamation activity on different ages coal dumps in the forest-steppe of Kuzbass are presented. The main physical and chemical soil properties were studied: density, clay fraction and organic carbon in the areas of forestry and agricultural reclamation measures and natural overgrowing. It...

The results of long term research on the influence of rocks stored in dumps during coal mining on the rate of soil processes during the regeneration of technogenic landscapes are presented. An approach to assess the lithogenic potential of soil formation as an integral indicator of the ability of technogenic substrates to ensure the formation of a...

The results of a study of the specifics of recultivation at mining enterprises of the Republic of Tuva are presented The analysis of the availability bioclimatic and lithological resources necessary for the effective implementation of various directions of reclamation are given. It was revealed that, despite the diversity of natural conditions and...

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...

The article analyses Khakassia environmental conditions with the aim to estimate their resources and role in the efficient reclamation of coal mining spoils. The availability of potentially fertile soil substrate as a resource for large-scale reclamation was evaluated by the thickness of the quaternary clay and loamy bedrock layers, taking into acc...

This article presents the results of complex assessment of the resources needed to carry out the reclamation of technogenic landscapes at coal-mining enterprises in the Khakasiya. An assessment based on analysis of regional natural factors (climate, soil-forming rocks, soil and vegetation cover). According to the results, regionalization of the ter...

Results of 24 soil monoliths studying in the collection of Dokuchaev Central Soil Museum were analyzed in terms of diagnostic criteria in Russian soil classification system; these were chestnut, brown aridic, pale and cryoaridic soils. The topsoils of chestnut and brown aridic soils meet the criteria for the light-humus horizon (AJ), but their valu...

В статье приводятся новые данные о загрязнении тяжелыми металлами и мышьяком почв в районе ГОК «Тувакобальт» (Тува) и карт захоронения его отходов. Дается оценка фактического содержания в почвах мышьяка, кадмия, никеля, кобальта и меди в сравнении с их кларками и региональным фоном, с учетом буферности почв. На основании полученных результатов сдел...

Morphological diagnostics of soil-forming processes in the young soils of technogenic landscapes are considered. Comprehensive multilevel studies of soils developed on the tailings of coal mines of different age in a wide range of climatic conditions in Siberia are performed. The processes of the mineral substrate transformation predominate at the...

Climatic, geomorphological, lithological, hydrochemical, and other factors that control soil formation contribute to the differentiation of the soil cover in the Turan-Uyuk depression, Tuva.

The influence of various soil formation factors and conditions on the ring differentiation of soil cover has been studied in the Central Tuvinian depression.
