Soil Diversity and Key Functional Characteristics of Yakutsk City: Largest Urbanized Cryogenic World’s Ecosystem

Urban soils are the most vulnerable component of the current terrestrial ecosystem. Due to the anthropogenic influence, various pollutants can accumulate in the soils and have a negative effect on the health of citizens. As a result of the degradation of permafrost landscapes, the disappearance of a...
