METHOD FOR DETERMINING ZONING TERRITORIAL UNITS FOR LAND RECLAMATION Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: soil science, in particular, prediction of probable negative soil reclamation processes. SUBSTANCE: method involves finding out soil-forming factors; setting soil-forming factor active zone limits on the base of analysis of soil cover of territory and determining zoning territorial units: region, sector, district, subdistrict, province etc by separating soil-forming factors enhancing exhibition of negative soil-reclamation processes; identifying tectonic factor and determining zoning territorial units: formation and complex, and separating soil-forming factors enhancing exhibition of negative soil-reclamation processes and tectonic factor. EFFECT: increased precision in predicting probable negative soil-reclamation processes in land reclamation practice. 2 tbl
