Abstract

An analysis is made of the elementary pedogenic processes occurring in soils and technogenic surface formations on coal mining dumps and on tailing dumps of iron ore dressing plants in the forest-steppe and mountain-taiga zones of Kemerovo oblast. The intensity of the ongoing processes is assessed by using the numerical scale.
