Почвенные ресурсы и структура почвенного покрова Кемеровской области — Кузбасса

Abstract

The Kemerovo Region is situated in the Central deciduous-forest, forest-steppe, and steppe soil-bioclimate regions of the Subboreal temperate soil-bioclimate zone. The researched territory of the Kazachensky motor dumping site, which is within the Taldinsky coal mine, according to the soil-geographic zoning data, is located at the intersection of two soil-geographic districts — Kemerovo-Prokopyevsky and Kuznetsko-Alatausky. On the studied technogenic landscape, identified areas are characterized by the presence of technogenic com­plexes with young soil formations. On the surface of the dumping site, signs of initial soil formation are observed. The restoration of the soil cover is at an initial stage, where only young soil-like bodies, embryosols, are found. The soils of the Kemerovo Region, Kuzbass, are identified on the following morphological features: the thickness of the humus horizon is up to 30 cm, a clearly expressed crumbly-granular structure, heavy loamy; the transitional horizon is unevenly colored, with signs of gleying, heavy loamy; the presence of a small amount of sandy fractions throughout the profile; soil-forming rock; stratified sandy loam or loam.
