Factors and Prerequisites for the Development of Technogenic Soil Salinization in the North Taiga Landscapes of Yakutia

Soil salinization is one of the main factors of land degradation. This paper presents the results of studying the development of the processes of technogenic salinization of soils of the North taiga landscapes on the example of the territory of the development of indigenous diamond deposits. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that in the series "soils of natural landscapes - unsalted soils of an industrial site - saline soils of an industrial site" the following toxic salts are formed: Na2SO4 - Na2SO4 and MgSO4 - MgSO4, NaCl and CaCl2. The main factor of soil salinization is the anthropogenic factor.
