Abstract
Cryosols and Gleysols were described which form the basis of soil cover of drained spaces of trans-polar territory of Pur-Taz interfluve (Western Siberia, Russia). Their properties were characterized by a series of physical and chemical indices such as soil texture, field humidity, content of carbon and its group composition, рН values, exchange bases and hydrolytic acidity. The soils under study were named by World Reference Base, 2007. Conformity was considered to concern names of the studied soils with those of soil groups represented in Soil Atlas of the Northern Circumpolar Region, 2010. Iodine content in the profile of soils was under consideration. It was correlated with some physical and chemical indices, and also environmental estimation of iodine content was given for soils of the north.
Highlights
The researches of the landscapes of the northern territories involve certain difficulties which cause financial costs for these researches, lack of advanced infrastructure as well as underdeveloped road network
As it evidenced by analysis of above-mentioned authors, the most part of the works devoted to soils of the north of Western Siberia concerns only north-taiga subbelt
At present time only one monograph available [2] is devoted to soils of forest tundra and tundra belts of Western Siberia
Summary
The researches of the landscapes of the northern territories involve certain difficulties which cause financial costs for these researches, lack of advanced infrastructure as well as underdeveloped road network. Research history of Eurasian Cryosols was fully described by Goryachkin et al in monograph [1] As it evidenced by analysis of above-mentioned authors, the most part of the works devoted to soils of the north of Western Siberia concerns only north-taiga subbelt. At present time only one monograph available [2] is devoted to soils of forest tundra and tundra belts of Western Siberia. It is based on the results of proper researches of the authors. Present paper deals with morphological description and physical and chemical characteristics of profiles of Cryozems and Gleyzems which form the basis of soil cover of trans-polar territory of Pur-Taz interfluve. Crucial role of halogen stimulates its study in natural objects
