Abstract
Technobiogeomes are natural landscape systems endowed with the same level of probable geochemical stability with respect to technogenesis, i.e. the totality of geochemical processes associated with man's activities. These landscapes are viewed as the basic objects of geochemical landscape prediction and may be grouped in terms of their stability in face of the products of technogenesis. A number of criteria are proposed for grouping these technobiogeomes: (1) the probable intensity of decay of technogenic products in the soil and in the atmosphere; (2) the probability of dissolution of these products, their evaporative concentration and their precipitation in reducing environments; (3) the probable intensity of removal of these products by aqueous and aerial currents. The groups are presented in the forms of tables and maps.
