A General Genetic Classification of Technogenic Soils

Аннотация

Possible approaches to the classification of technogenic soils in the framework of their general classification system are discussed in connection with the revision of one of the basic regulatory standards. The possible genesis of technogenic soils and the primary factors that determine their properties are analyzed. Classification attributes of technogenic soils are formulated and their hierarchy is presented. As a result, a general classification of technogenic soils that provides a basis for their classification in the updated standard is obtained.
