Soils and Man-Made Surface Formations in Urban Landscapes

Intensive and diverse human activity in large cities their environs leads to a significant change the environment: relief, hydrographic network changes, natural vegetation is destroyed or replaced by urbophytocenoses, soil cover greatly transformed, climatic characteristics change, i.e. specific type of urban microclimate formed. In cities, anthropogenic impact becomes predominant over factors formation, which formation soils soil-like bodies (formations). this case, land use determining factor cover. Adverse environmental impacts lead degradation, resulting destruction vegetation. All together deterioration chemical composition air general situation that affects people’s health. Unfavorable ecological processes significantly impede (prevent) fulfillment functions assigned them. A part territories located zone action negative affect state functions. Ecologists predict these will intensify.
