Abstract

Digital medium-scale (1 : 100 000) soil map of the Southern Coast from the Aia Cape on the west to the town of Feodosiya on the east was compiled on the basis of field data obtained by the authors. This map contains actual information on the soil cover of natural, humanly transformed landscapes, and urbanized territories. The map was created using GIS and remote sensing methods (multispectral Landsat images were applied). The legend to the map was based on the Classification and Diagnostic System of Russian Soils (2004). The map comprises 1053 polygons and 34 soil units, which are arranged in four groups: natural soils, soils of terraced slopes, agricultural soils, and soils of urbanized territories. There is also information about rock outcrops, soil erosion intensity, and share of natural soils in the areas of human-modified soils. The analysis of the map demonstrates that natural soils occupy 63% of the area. The main natural soils are Dystric Cambisols (they compose approximately 35% of all natural soils) and Eutric Cambisols (about 23%). Among human-modified soils, soils of urbanized areas make up about 15%; agricultural soils, 12%; and soils of terraced slopes (Escalic qualifier in the WRB) under forest plantations, 10%. The latter soils are widespread and may be named “Postturbozems”; this term is absent in the Classification and Diagnostic System of Russian Soils (2004). The new digital soil map reflects the features of the present-day soil cover of the Southern Coast of Crimea and may be used for agricultural and forest management purposes, as well as for geographical, pedological, and ecological studies.

克里米亚南部海岸的中尺度土壤图

摘要

根据作者获得的现场数据，编制了从西边的Aia Cape到东边的Feodosiya镇的南海岸数字中等规模（1：100 000）土壤图。该地图包含有关自然的，人工改造的景观和城市化地区的土壤覆盖的实际信息。该地图是使用GIS和遥感方法创建的（应用了多光谱Landsat图像）。地图上的图例基于俄罗斯土壤的分类和诊断系统（2004）。该地图包含1053个多边形和34个土壤单位，它们分为四类：天然土壤，梯田土壤，农业土壤和城市化地区土壤。也有关于岩石露头，土壤侵蚀强度以及在人工改造土壤区域中天然土壤所占份额的信息。对地图的分析表明，天然土壤占该地区的63％。主要的天然土壤是Dystric Cambisols（约占所有自然土壤的35％）和Eutric Cambisols（约占23％）。在人为改性的土壤中，城市化地区的土壤约占15％。农业土壤，12％；人工林下梯田斜坡和土壤（WRB中的Equalic qualifier）的土壤和土壤为10％。后者的土壤分布广泛，可以称为“后涡轮风”；这个词在俄罗斯土壤分类和诊断系统（2004年）。新的数字土壤图反映了克里米亚南部海岸当今土壤覆盖的特征，可用于农业和森林管理目的以及地理，教育和生态研究。
