Abstract
The main patterns of soil cover development in Yakutia and the morphogenetic features of permafrost soils were identified in the first few years of the 20th century by researchers representing the scientific school of V.V. Dokuchaev. The soil scientists of the Complex Expedition of the USSR Academy of Sciences between 1925 and 1930 significantly broadened the scope of soil-geographical research. The Yakut School of Soil Science emerged during the post war period. The works of Yakut scientists on the study of permafrost soils throughout the republic and soil maps of various scales have earned recognition from soil scientists of the Soviet Union. In the 1990s, the modern era of soil science development in Yakutia began on an international scale.
Supporting agencies: This study was conducted within the framework of the state assignment of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation “Cause-and-effect basis of the dynamics of soil cover and terrestrial ecosystems of the permafrost zone in the area of distribution of light rocks in Central Yakutia for the development of fundamental principles for the protection of quasi-equilibrium cryoxerogenic territories” (theme number FWRS- 2021-0026; registration number AAAA-A21-121012190036-6).
