Description
Summary:The genesis of anthropogenic soils is widely studied. Soil changes or the formation of new soil types due to human activities are a basic and major factor about anthropogenic soils. A genetic-diagnostic characteristics of anthropogenic influences and the current processes, which influence the formation of specific by composition, properties and structure soils, has been performed. Generally human activities and the consequent running processes are of a different nature and the reflection of these activities on soil cover is durable and visible. All that provides grounds for anthropogenic soils to be grouped and systemized as a separate soil type with subtypes and to be correlated according to according to FAO diagnostics and classification (2014) and the accredited criteria for soil assessment in the world referential base.
