Abstract

We have studied soils of the western coast of the Chivyrkui and Barguzin bays on the Svyatoi Nos Peninsula, which is the largest peninsula of Lake Baikal in the Republic of Buryatia. Morphogenetic characteristics of soils on the main types of coasts of the peninsula—low abrasion with isolated lagoons, low abrasion, accumulative, and ingression—are given. Rocks in the basis of the coasts of the bays are an important factor of soil formation. It is shown that the genesis of soils depends on the distance from the lake and the altitude, resulting in the difference in their structure and properties. The soils are not directly affected and flooded by lake water due to high mountainous coasts, which are often rocky with steep slopes. Soil formation beyond the floodplain regime is also typical for soils of the closest to the lake level: soddy podzols, which occupy low shores of accumulative types. The particle-size composition of the studied soils varies widely from loose sand to light clay. The common properties of soils include acid and weakly acid reaction, the regressive-accumulative type of humus distribution, and differentiation of bulk oxides along the profile. The revealed evidences of podzolization in Al–Fe-humus soils and of clay accumulation in brown soils are related to sufficient moistening of the coasts and the warming effect of the lake water mass. The research results may be used in landscape planning in territorial organization and monitoring work in recreation areas.
