Ab. Gyninova et Ap. Sapozhnikov, SOIL COVER OF THE KET-KAP MOUNTAIN MASSIF AND ITS TRANSFORMATION UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF OPEN-CUT MINING, Eurasian soil science, 29(12), 1996, pp. 1325-1329
Industrial gold mining in the north of the Khabarovskii region results
in deterioration of natural landscapes in valleys of mountain rivers.
Restoration of soil cover is hampered by degradation of permafrost an
d soil-forming rocks. It is recommended that the influence of the comp
onents of natural and technogenic landscapes should be taken into acco
unt in the process of soil reclamation.
