Abstract
In Central Yakutia high-salinity soils are not limited to the active layer. Sometimes, cryopegs are formed that contain highly mineralized, negative-temperature groundwaters. There is a direct relationship between the ground temperature regime and soil salinity. Anthropogenic influences (i.e. urbanization) can cause intensive salt localization and the formation of taliks (cryopegs) to depths of 5–6 m or more. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. En Yakoutie centrale, des sols hautement sales n'existent pas seulement dans la couche active. Parfois des cryopegs apparaissent qui contiennent des eaux fortement mineralisees dont la temperature est negative. Il y a une relation directe entre le regime de temperature du sol et la salinite de celui-ci. Des influences anthropogeniques (par exemple l'urbanisation) peut entrainer la presence locale d'une quantite importante de sel dans le sol et la formation de taliks (cryopegs) jusqu'a une profondeur de 5 a 6 m ou meme plus.
