SOIL-LANDSCAPE PECULIAR AREAS IN THE NORTH OF CENTRAL SIBERIA (ACCORDING TO INTERPRETATION OF SPACE-BORNE IMAGES)

Abstract

When correcting the lists for the State soil map of the northern part in Central Siberia in electronic format using visual satellite images obtained by SAS Planet, it was possible to specify the boundaries of old soil contours and recognize new ones. Interpretation of aerospace images for sloping landscapes within the northern taiga subzone as confined to compacted rocks of trappean complex, loose Quaternary rocks and Jura sedimentary non- carbonate rocks permitted to enlarge the knowledge about the component composition of the soil cover at the above territory.
