Abstract
The purpose of the research – 1) establishment of classification and diagnostic characteristics of soils under different functional using of the city territory; 2) parameterization of the structure, composition and properties of anthropogenically transformed and anthropogenically created soils; 3) development of a classification scheme, taking into account its use in cadastral and economic grouping. General scientific (systematic, analysis, synthesis, generalization, statistics) and traditional (soil-genetic, profile-morphological, laboratory-analytical and cartographic) research methods were used to study the genetic characteristics of soils of Odessa and their classification. The ecological-profile-genetic classification of soils of urban areas, which combines profile-genetic and factor-ecological approaches, is proposed. Within the city there are natural, anthropogenically transformed and anthropogenically created soils. Soils during cadastral and economic grouping are united into two groups of transformed and technological soils of human settlements and other territories with anthropogenically transformed soil cover, are distinguished. According to cadastral and economic grouping, within Odessa the area of transformed soils is 11,915.6 ha, technological soils is 1922.5 ha. The proposed scheme of soil classification of urban areas includes 2 supertype levels, 3 types and 13 subtypes of soils, which are divided according to their genetic profile and combined according to the characteristics of natural and anthropogenic factors of soil formation. For urban cadastre, organization, planning and implementation of land management, economic activity, a scheme of supplementing the list of agricultural soils of Ukraine with cadastral and economic grouping of soils of urban areas was proposed. The grouping of soils includes two associations: 1) transformed and 2) technological (artificially created) soils - a total of 14 cadastral and economic groupsKeywords
