Abstract
This study concerns the investigation of the soil cover of tundra and forest-tundra belts in the western part of the Putorana Plateau. The substantive-genetic classification of soils has been developed on the basis of a large body of morphological and physicochemical data. Subaerial aeolian deposits are widespread in the mountain tundra belt. The largest areas are occupied by cryometamorphic soils (granuzems) and organic-accumulative soils along with abrazems. Cryoturbated soils (cryozems) prevail in the lowland foresttundra area, where they develop on sandy loamy glaciolacustrine deposits.
