Abstract
Formation of the soil cover in a dried territory begins immediately and is characterized by a high rate of soil formation process. For the period of 40-60 years, solonetzs, solonchaks, meadow soils form complicated complexes. The pulsing character of drying - water impounding process complicates the general picture. Older complexes of soils undergo washing off, are overlapped with fresh alluviations on which younger soils, often of a different type, are formed (solonchaks on buried solonetzs).
It is established that soil formation in intensively drying territories of salted lakes goes through sod-meadow station skipping that of swamps, which differs from the stabilized notions. Rather intense are the processes of formation of sol relief forms on sites of dried lake bottom.
