Оценка запечатанности почвенного покрова города Волгограда

Abstract

The article presents the results of evaluation of sealed soils in different functional zones of the Volgograd city. On satellite images using automated interpretation methods, two classes were distinguished: open and sealed surfaces. It is established that the soil imperviousness under residential development can vary from 20 to 75 %, and in the industrial zone, imperviousness can reach 80 %. The ratio of sealed and open surfaces for different types of residential development is determined, which depends on the size of the buildings and the degree of gardening. The lowest imperviousness in the residential area is noted for the country houses – about 30 %. A graph of the sealed soils change during the movement from the suburban zone to the bank of the Volga River is constructed.
