Abstract: | The diversity of soils within the specially protected natural territory of Pokrovskoe-Streshnevo in Moscow is discussed. The
soils of this large park are not affected by the modern construction activities that delete the features inherited from the
early stages of the anthropogenic transformation of soils in Moscow. They are characterized by the book-like type of soil
memory, which makes it possible to trace several sequences of the anthropogenic soil transformation. The background natural
soils-rzhavozems (Chromic Cambisols)—have been transformed into agrogenic soils (agrosols) and postagrogenic soils (postagrosols)
under abandoned plowlands, into urbo-soils and urbanozems in the areas of former or modern settlements, and into techno-soils
in the areas of active excavation works and engineering reclamation. The change in the character of the land use without the
accumulation of osediments on the surface leads to the development of polygenetic soil horizons. |
