| Summary: | This paper presents the main geochemical processes in landscapes that have transformed in result of Upper Kama potassium and magnesium salts deposit development (Perm krai). Halogenesis is the main technological impact, which resulted in salinization of soils, surface water and groundwater. Biogenesis and sedimentagenesis are the most transformed landscape-geochemical processes. There takes place accumulation of technogenic matter in river sediments and the change of taiga vegetation to salt resistance species. Highly mineralized technogenic water activates sulfidogenesis and oхidogenesis. These processes are observed in the river sediment, and in the river valley where groundwater is discharged. In the territory of salt deposit development alluvial terrestrial and aquatic landscapes are the most transformed. |
