The permafrost zone (cryolithozone) is undergoing now an intensive anthropogenic influence. The strongest influence of the linear structure could be heating of the upper part of the ground layer, thawing of ice inclusions, weakening of the soil and surface subsidence. The strongest risk for constructing engineering structures within the southern part of the cryolithozone results from peatlands because of peat soil with high ice content. The aim of this work is revealing main interpretation criteria of peatlands co...
