Description :
In this work two altitudinal sequences, located in the northern and central mountain chain of Tjan-Šan, have been compared. The described areas are partially in Kazakhstan and partially in Kirgyzstan. The main purpose of the survey was to study the relations among soils, geomorphology, lithology and vegetation cover, to identify modern and past soil formation processes. For this reason, 12 soil sites among the most representative pedoenvironments recognized have been described, analysed and interpreted. - (NF)
