Abstract:

The assessment of soil features of Southern Nadym-Purovsky province, Hylmigyakha basin is given. The data are collected during the field work, when soil samples were taken for chemical analysis; the description of soil profiles has been performed. As a result, three major morphogenetic soil complexes are identified; soil systematic list of the study area is compiled. Geochemical parameters, regularities of soil cover formation depending on the position in a relief and properties of parent rock are considered. Soils have acid reaction in the surface horizons, they are humus-poor, and have low reserves of plants’ mineral nutrients. Mesotrophic bog eftrofnye soils develop in relief depressions at the close bedding of permafrost. The soil cover is heterogeneous, has a complex mosaic structure; variation of soil types in the space is associated with the change of landscape elements, climate, water regime and vegetation. The soil cover is characterized by a predominant podzolization process under forests and woodlands and marshes peatifying.
