Abstract
Combined paleogeographical studies proved that the relict cryogenic mi crorelief, formed in the Late-Pleistocene permafrost zone, is the prin ciple factor of differentiation of modern soil cover. Members of soil sequences differ in their properties, nutrient content, and potential fertility. The second humus horizons, being regarded as relict ones, d evelop in the depressions of paleocryogenic relief. These horizons wer e formed in the Atlantic period of the Holocene.
