摘要：Landscape-geochemical assessment of the industrial areas is of particular
interest. This paper describes the microelement composition of soils, investigates
hydrochemical composition of surface waters and vegetation of the territory. A
landscape-geochemical analysis of the Khromtau industrial zone was carried out. The
article includes results of studying of the patterns of the profile distribution of the
morphological, physico-chemical properties of soils and their transformation under
the influence of the mining industry and urban loads. The study reveals main types of
rearrangements of the ecological and geochemical structure of soil profiles, which
sharply differ from the background soils of the region. During field research, key areas were laid. In the key areas, soil pits were laid for sampling soil from various
horizons, for subsequent chemical analysis of the constituent components, and
vegetation was selected for chemical analysis. Geoenvironmental analysis allows
scientific justifying creation of technogenic reservations as a basis for protection of
recreational areas. The work contains conceptual and methodological approaches to
ensuring geo-ecological assessment of geosystems. The analysis of the interaction of
the natural, economic, social subsystems and control systems with modern
geosystems, based on the ecosystem services, provided by natural subsystem
demanded by society and economy. A model of technogenic geosystem and a series of
the indicators reflecting properties, quantitative and qualitative features of each block
of subsystems has been developed. Structural variations which arise in geosystem as a
result of anthropogenous transformation lets to establish quality of technogenic
geosystem and to rank them from steadily functioning to the actively degrading.
