DEFINITION
-
Technosols combine soils whose properties and pedogenesis are dominated by their technical origin. They contain a significant amount of artefacts (something in the soil recognizably made or strongly altered by humans or extracted from greater depths) or are sealed by technic hard material (hard material created by humans, having properties unlike natural rock) or contain a geomembrane. They include soils from wastes (landfills, sludge, cinders, mine spoils and ashes), pavements with their underlying unconsolidated materials, soils with geomembranes and constructed soils. Technosols are often referred to as Urban or Mine soils. They are recognized in the Russian soil classification system as Technogenic superficial formations and in the Australian soil classification, they are included in Anthroposols.
