Additional Information on the Structure of the Soil Cover of Gobustan

Abstract

The territory of Gobustan is a mountainous zone with a complex relief. The mountain plateau is in the northwestern part. To determine the structures of the soil cover of Gobustan, the method of relief plastics was applied. Three types of soil cover structures have been distinguished: tree-like concentric type (Gobustan-Absheron trough), bulbous-collecting type, tree-like type of volcanic origin. The internal qualities of these structures were determined: their soil content, their characteristic physical-chemical, biological properties.
