paludification process, Gorny Altai, factors, waterlogged area, peat covered areas, peat deposits, ecological and economic fundAbstract
The article analyzes the climatic, geological, geomorphological and hydrological condi-tions of the paludification process in the Gorny Altai. The characteristics of surface and groundwa-ter are presented. Much attention is paid to the lithological composition of the underlying rocks and the geocryological factor of the paludification process. Based on these conditions, the spatio-temporal pattern of the paludification process is preliminarily determined. At present, 213 water-logged areas, peat covered areas and peat deposits have been identified in the Gorny Altai, and this is only a small part of the existing swamps in the territory. The article presents the results of studies of 13 peat deposits in the low-mountain and mid-mountain zones of the republic. It is proposed to continue the study of the Gorny Altai swamps and in the future to develop ecological and econom-ic funds of peat resources, including a priority protected target fund. Some peat deposits are rec-ommended to be used for economic and balneological purposes, which is a great prospect for the development of the resort business in the Altai Republic.
