Abstract
The article presents a review of publications from 1980–2022 which deal with the study of post mining soils (PMS) in the territory of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Though mining in Yakutia began in the 1920s and 1930s, the study of PMS in this territory began only in 1992. Over the past decades, the number of publications on the problem has increased more than 10 times. Still, there are no exact figures on the area of PMS in this territory. The inventory of the latter as a scientific problem has not yet been posed. This study of the properties of the young soils on post mining dumps was carried out in all the climatic zones of Yakutia from tundra to the middle taiga. A classification of biotopes according to the degree of anthropogenic transformation in the permafrost zone has been proposed. We tested a hierarchical scheme of bioindication of disturbed permafrost ecosystems, including coenotic, population, ontogenetic and cytogenetic levels. Three methodological approaches (physicochemical, microbiological, phytotest) for studying the biogenic stage of primary soil formation in cryolithozone was assessed. The information content of the classical genetic soil science positions for the classification of young PMS under the conditions of different climatic zones of Yakutia is shown. We identified the informativeness of various methodological approaches for diagnosing the state of PMS in the permafrost zone.
