ИСТИНА

Soil construction is an innovative branch of engineering ecology, soil science, and agriculture. It is aimed at the scientifically based design and creation of a system of working layers (horizons), communications, barriers, and other constructive elements in soils. For this purpose, modern technical means and natural and artificial materials are applied. The layers are created for the optimization of the properties, regimes, and ecological functions of soils in anthropogenic landscapes. Soil constructruction is determined by the choice of materials, such as artificial or semi-artificial materials (i.e., compost, sewage sludge, zeolitic, sand, peat, humates, and etc...), choice of plants (i.e., tolerance, resilience, behavior, biomass production, and etc...), the composition of the materials, and the order of material layers during application.
