This book addresses the effects of the environment on Saint
Petersburg's cultural heritage. It summarizes the results of
long-term, large-scale monitoring of monuments in, and the
environment (air, soil, vegetation) of, the historical Saint
Petersburg Necropolis. The book offers detailed descriptions of the
unique collection of decorative stones in the Necropolis and
discusses the deposits that were most likely used to create them.
In addition, it characterizes the processes of stone and bronze
monuments' degradation in response to physical, chemical and
biogenic influences. Special attention is paid to describing the
monitoring methodology and the structure of the monitoring
information database. Drawing on the methodologies and cases
presented here, the book subsequently puts forward a strategy for
the conservation and restoration of these unique monuments. This
book approaches practical questions of monuments preservation that
will be of interest to museum staff, restorers and experts in
various fields (geologists, biologists, chemists, engineers, etc.)
whose work involves problems of cultural heritage preservation. The
book is interesting for everyone who is not indifferent to the
history and preserving of the world culture.
