The globalization of anthropogenic impacts on all natural systems of the Earth, including the soil cover, poses problems related to diverse ecological functions of soils (atmospheric, hydrospheric, lithospheric, and biotic) [1]. The soil acts as a regulator of biospheric interactions; it transforms, controls, and regulates the material and energy fluxes and cycles passing through it. The functioning of a soil system implies multiphase interactions of its major components (gases, solutions, solid phase, and biota) [2]. Pedogenesis occurs during the functioning of a soil system, which results in the formation, selection, accumulation, and differentiation of solid-phase products. Gaseous and liquid products of functioning are removed from the system and arrive into the vast reservoirs of atmosphere and hydrosphere. The soil cover of gas-bearing areas is a kind of semipermeable membrane, through which gas exchange between the atmosphere and the lithosphere occurs [3]. The soils uptake and oxidize atmospheric methane and represent an essential component of its global dynamics. At the same time, the soils uptake, deposit, and oxidize both the autochthonous methane formed in natural hydromorphic landscapes [4] and the technogenic-allochthonous methane migrating from gas deposits [3].
