CLASSIFICATION AND NOMENCLATURE OF SOIL SUBTYPES OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA ACCORDING TO INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
Abstract
The Republic of Armenia is a small mountainous country with vividly expressed vertical zoning and scarce in soil, where among all the components of the landscape soil cover is also exposed to zoning patterns typical of mountainous countries. In the article is analyzed the compliance of the classification of genetic subtypes of the soil of the republic with international criteria. The classification of all genetic soil types and subtypes separated in the territory of the republic is based on the criteria presented in International World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB).
