Cryogenic processes that occur in permafrost-affected and perennially frozen soils are analyzed and systematized. Their influences are observed at the three levels of soil organization. Thin sections are prepared from thawed and frozen soil samples.
Key words: levels of soil structural organization, cryogenic processes, Cryosol.
