Description
Summary:The concepts of the specific mechanisms responsible for the formation of magnetic ferric oxides in soils over artificial gas storage reservoirs are considered for the first time. Upon the interaction of technogenic allochthonous methane with soil, some biogeochemical barriers are formed that are characterized by the accumulation of solid products resulting from the functioning and development of the soil. The pedogenic new formations are represented by fine magnetic ferric oxides of specific shape. They are the result of an elementary soil-forming process--oxidogenesis composed of a complex of microprocesses of biogenic and abiogenic nature.
