Soil features
The plow horizon is strongly disturbed by cryoturbations. Moreover, these disturbances were also created during plowing, which is why additional photographs show how the morphons of the plow horizon plunged deep into the profile at different stages of plowing. At the first stage, after the annealing of the forest-tundra, a darker arable horizon saturated with coals was formed. We see his morphs. At the final stages, a lighter humus horizon was formed, since coal was no longer supplied, plus the supply of manure stopped, and, probably, liming.
General comments
The soil was stopped being plowed between 2004 and 2015. In general, there were many arable lands around Salekhard. Almost all of them are now abandoned, most of them are built up. The rest are grown potatoes.
