METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO CREATING A UNIFIED CLASSIFICATION OF SOILS IN URBAN AREAS WITH VARYING DEGREES OF ANTHROPOGENIC TRANSFORMATION
Methodological approaches to the creation of a unified soil classification of urbanized territories with varying degrees of anthropogenic transformation are developed and presented. The general principles and features for the classification and systematization of specific individual groups of objects are defined. For the first time, a methodical technique has been proposed that allows combining soils, soil-like and non-soil formations into a single classification system, taking into account their genetic heterogeneity. Key words: soil classification; soil-like formations; non-soil formations; soils of urbanized territories.
