Abstract
Professor of Moscow Lomonosov University Marina Stroganova was the first in Russia to acknowledge urban soils as soils, name them by their location and/or functions and partly by their properties. Her system is popular among specialists, and urbanozems, ekranozems, culturozems and similar soils are recognized as mapping units and study objects for ecologists. Global progress in classifying soils resulted in the shift of priorities in the choice of diagnostic criteria: from soil-forming factors to soil properties. However, for urban soils, strongly affected or even constructed by humans, soil-forming factors, processes, and properties remain important as seen from the expert evaluation of criteria in WRB, Soil Taxonomy and French system. In Russia, an attempt to insert urban soils in the basic classification system, without violating its substantive principles is described.
