Post-technogenic conversions of soils of urbanized landscapes of Khabarovsk

Abstract

Transformed soils of urbanized landscapes of two categories of lands (general use and agrogenic) were studied. Based on the morphological characters, various stages of their transformation in the phases of technogenic and post-technologic development have been established. Depending on the position of soils in the elementary landscape, the nature of morpholithogenesis, the degree of influence of the anthropogenic factor, their diagnostic features are revealed. For each category of lands in the post-technogenic phase, the further evolution of the transformed soils is considered, which is determined not only by the “frame base” formed in the technogenic phase, but by the corresponding new modified environmental conditions of the area in the post-technogenic phase.
