Abstract

The transformation of soil morphology in the area of landfills is caused by the technogenic disturbance of the soil profile; artificial soil compaction; local soil waterlogging and the development of hydromorphism; the removal of heterogeneous deposits from the body of reclaimed landfills and their accumulation in the subordinate landscapes; and the gleyzation and production of biogases in primitive soils developed from the new substrate. Various combinations of these processes result in the formation of several different morphological types of the soil profile.
