Agroecological assessment of leached chernozems with different erosion level in conditions of the slope catena at the Central Chernozemic Region |
|
|
Based on the complex investigation of agroecological parameters of leached chernozems with different erosion level in conditions of the slope catena at the Central Chernozemic Region (CChR), the features of agrogenic-erosive transformation of morphogenetic, chemical and physic-chemical properties of the investigated soils at the basic levels of their structural organization are shown – depending on the degree of their erosion. The influence of the processes of surface planar erosion and intra-soil lateral migration on the content and distribution of the most problematic heavy metals (HM) – Pb, Cd is considered. The analysis of the research results has shown that the development of erosion processes in conditions of the slope type of terrain characteristic for the CChR leads to a significant transformation of the main diagnostic indicators of the agroecological state of leached chernozems, primarily to the degradation of their morphogenetic and humus profile. The significant and slope-differentiated influence of erosion processes at the level of soil elementary particles, meso- and macro-levels of the soil structural organization has been established. The processes of erosion and lateral migration change the content and profile distribution of Cd and, especially, Pb in the studied leached chernozems. In the eroded soils, there is an increase in their mobility and accumulation in the subsoil.
