Permafrost Zone: | Continuous |
Vegetation: | Taiga (larch-grass-dwarf shrub-moss landcover) |
Hydrology: | From moist to saturated surface. No water streams. |
Landform: | Flat surface of the low river terrace |
Lithology: | (predominant texture, i.e., ‘sand’, ‘gravel’, ‘peat’, etc.): Upper part of geological section is composed by sandy silt and peat overlaid by alluvial sands. In 2014 year moisture, density of these soils were studied in laboratory. The water content of peat varies from 11 to 179 % and density varies from 0.03 to 0.99 g/cm3. The moisture of sandy silt ranges from 19 to 40% and density varies from 1.41 to 1.90 g/cm3. |
Morphology: | Flat surface with small hummocks |
Description: | Plain near Chara River (Flat surface of the low river terrace) |
