The article examines the applicability and functioning of artificial soils, whose creation is based both on research into modeling moisture and salt transfer in soils and on the development of nature-like biogeochemical technologies for recreating natural biogeochemical cyclicity. Two main technological approaches for constructing artificial soils are demonstrated, namely: modeling soil processes and applying the modeling results to technologies for creating functional horizons of artificial soils. It is noted that artificial soils are essentially biophysical models, our consideration of which allows for the design of such soils for a wide variety of functional uses.
