Integral assessment of soil cover stability of the meso-level territory to the impact of anthropogenic factors

Abstract

The article analyzes global approaches to comprehensive assessment of the quality of the soil cover, and develops proposals for determining the index of ecological quality of the soil cover of Belarus. The set of specific parameters for assessment is subjective and is largely determined by the presence of both positive and negative data for spatial assessment of large areas. For a comprehensive assessment of mesoscale soils, the parameters of soil properties, ranked by the degree of resistance to negative impacts, are proposed. The general principle of ranking is the division into equal intervals in the range of possible values of a particular parameter, and for many indicators, not the average value for the region is considered, but the number of soils with unfavorable parameters, individual for each property. The expediency of using such parameters as the presence of acid (pH less than 5) and alkaline (pH more than 7) soils, the proportion of soils with light granulometric composition, the presence of waterlogged, eroded, boulder-laden, radiocesium-contaminated soils, the proportion of soils poorly supplied with humus, mobile phosphorus and potassium compounds, and the yield of grain crops is substantiated. A formula for determining the summary index of soil quality on the basis of 12 indicators is proposed, according to which average values for the regions of the Republic are determined. A high degree of geographically determined differences in the quality of the soil cover is revealed (the index from 46 in the Klimovichy district to 95 in the Nesvizh district).
