Popis:	We conducted ecological and microbiological assessment of soil cover in different functional zones within the Saratov-Engels agglomeration. We analyzed functional zoning of the area under study identifying the industrial zone, road network, low-rise residential area and high-rise apartment buildings. Microbiological analysis was carried out for the following groups of microorganisms: heterotrophs, actinomycetes, micromycetes, nitrogen-fixing and cellulolytic microorganisms. We revealed the differences in physiological groups of microorganisms and soil enzymatic activity among various urban functional zones. We propose constructing schematic maps of environmental condition in urban areas on the basis of integrated indicators, taking into account geographical features, as well as developing maps of urban soil degradation based on obtained values of microbiological and biochemical indicators.
