Abstract

The use of the concepts of mathematical physics makes it possible to reveal deep analogies between different natural phenomena. The theory of nonequilibrium dissipative systems seems to be promising for its application in theoretical soil science. In particular, general laws of the functioning of such systems can be presumably applied to analyze the stability of the existing complex soilscapes in the Vladimir opolie region.
