Summary

The tundra territory between the Pur and Taz Rivers are analyzed for the landscape diversity on the basis of remote sensing data and field material. For each land unit (microlandscape) the vegetation and microrelief are described, soil types and projective covers of plant species are defined, and depths of thawing layer are measured. For the waterlogged microlandscapes depths of water table, values of acidity (pH) and electrical conductivity (EC) of water are defined.
