Abstract

The genesis, composition, and properties of the major types of permafrost-affected soils of central Yakutia were studied along a 30-km-long soil catena within the middle taiga zone near Yakutsk. It is shown that the distribution of different soils along the catena is controlled by the climatic zonality in the Yakutsk Depression; taiga soils are replaced by soddy forest-steppe soils and soddy meadow-steppe soils with a decrease in the absolute height of the territory.
