MAPPING OF AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPES OF THE OUTLIER FOREST-STEPPE BASED ON GEOINFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES AND REMOTE SENSING OF THE EARTH

The search for new mechanisms of crop growing modernization was initiated by post-Soviet change of the socio-economic formation, rejection of the virgin-land holistic principle of organizing agriculture with its wheat invariant, as well as transition from the extensive zonal system to adaptive landscape and precision agriculture. Above all, this refers to agricultural landscapes of the forest steppe zone of North Kazakhstan, which is the oldest region of the country’s dryland farming. The article deals with a relevant direction of agrolandscape research – geoinformation agrolandscape mapping with the use of aerial photography materials from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The aim of the work is to prepare optimal cartographic support for effective agricultural production in light of agricultural intensification in the region and depletion of natural fertility resources. Modern methods of geoinformation agrolandscape mapping have been used, their effectiveness is shown through the example of key areas. The features of the landscape structure of outlier forest steppe agrolandscapes have been identified with the help of utilitarian agroecological typology of land; the types of basic geoinformation cartographic materials to be used in precision agriculture have been defined. We consider it possible for the agrolandscape mapping experience to be extended to other farms of the region, which would ensure productive agricultural management.

Processing And Storage

Agricultural lands of the Russian Federation are intensively subjected to degradation and desertification as a result of irrational economic activity, which, against the background of unfavorable climatic factors, led to the destruction of natural ecosystems, degradation of the soil cover and ultimately to the creation of the unfavorable ecological environment. About 65 % of 130 million hectares of arable land, are exposed to water and wind erosion. Only by water erosion, 10 % of arable land lost 30–60 % of fertility and almost 25 % lost 10–30 %. As a result of deflation 25million hectares of agricultural land in the European part of the Russian Federation are degraded to varying degrees. The concept of the anti-degradation arrangement proposes to use environmental-economic geoinformational monitoring. Within the framework of this approach, the development of cartographic and mathematical models in three time environments is proposed: pre-agricultural, modern degraded, and certainly improved condition. The ecological and economic analysis makes it possible to synthesize information flows and analyze the most important degradation processes. The most important tool for implementing ther adaptive-landscape anti-degradation arrangement of agricultural landscapes is precision farming, which consists of several subsystems: decision-making, monitoring, agronomic techniques, specialized equipment, etc. Computer technologies and telecommunications allow to speed up and optimize production by combining technology and people, which helps reduce costs. Precision agriculture is impossible without using modern advances in collecting, processing and storage of various, often heterogeneous, agricultural information.

The influence of the climate change on the agro-climatic growth conditions, development and formation of productivity of meadow and steppe vegetation in the forest-steppe zone of Ukraine for three periods has been studied: 2021–2030, 2031–2040, 2041–2050. The calculations of the expected conditions have been performed according to the climate change scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. The paper provides an assessment of the agro-climatic conditions for the formation of productivity of meadow and steppe vegetation in the current global warming and further climate change conditions until 2050. The assessment has been performed by comparing the average long-term agro-climatic indicators (1980–2010) of the productivity of wild phytocenoses with the same indicators for the future over decades. The calculations of both average long-term productivity of grasses and productivity of grasses in the conditions of climate change are executed according to four types of productivity: potential productivity which in case of optimum maintenance of plants with heat, moisture and mineral food is defined by solar radiation; meteorologically possible yield, which is provided by the temperature regime and the regime of humidification of the territory; really possible yield capacity, which is provided by the natural fertility of the soil; actual yield capacity in the natural conditions. Key words: meadow, steppe vegetation, productivity, humus balance, photosynthetic potential, agroecological categories of yields, climate change.

The purpose of the article was, on the basis of monitoring studies, to establish the peculiarities of the state of natural waters in the agrolandscapes of the Forest-steppe zone under various agrotechnogenic loads. The study used the method of agroecological monitoring and laboratory (methods of chemical, physico-chemical analysis using modern methods of atomic absorption spectrophotometry, flame photometry in accordance with the requirements of the quality management system, DSTU 3973-2000). The study of the state of natural water in 2015–2020 was conducted by the staff of the Department of Agroecology and analytical research of the NSC “Institute of Agriculture of NAAS” in the agro-landscapes of the Right Bank Forest-Steppe in Kyiv region: in Kyiv-Sviatoshynskyi district - v. Gatne, v. Kruglik,v. Kryukivshchyna, v. Vita Poshtova, in Vasylkiv district -v. Dzvinkove, in the Tarashchansky district - the v. Rizhky, in the Left-Bank Forest-Steppe - in the Poltava region, Shishatsky district, v. Manachynivka. The results of water analysis at stationary points of the Right-Bank and Left-Bank Forest-Steppe indicate that none of them was distinguished by the stability of physicochemical and chemical indicators, the quality of drinking water in rural settlements directly depends on the ecological state of agricultural landscapes and individual farms. The state of drinking water in the system of decentralized water supply of rural settlements in most cases did not correspond to the standards in force in Ukraine, which indicates a high anthropogenic load on agricultural landscapes, an insufficient level of ecological culture and the need for monitoring. The issue of monitoring natural waters and reducing the risks of their pollution is important from the point of view of improving the quality of drinking water in rural areas.

The Stability

The article discusses the particular conditions of the forest-steppe zone in the Saratov region with a predominance of moderate and severe erosion hazard. Effective methods and possibilities of creating highly productive agricultural land in such conditions with the maximum approximation of them to natural ecosystems are presented. The environmental requirements considered by various scientists are given to achieve ecological balance in these types of cultivated land. All presented systematized natural and socio-economic components capable of stabilizing and destabilizing effects on the stability of the agrolandscape have a great influence on the stability of its existence over time and on the specific territory. A special role in achieving ecological balance and the formation of highly productive agrolandscapes in the forest-steppe zone of the Saratov Region is assigned to the organization of agricultural land, taking into account the influence of various anthropogenic components on zonal features. The necessity of determining the optimal ratios of natural and man-made land is substantiated. The presence of natural, mediumregulating components on agrolandscapes allows us to create conditions for bringing them closer to natural ecosystems. Therefore, for each type of agricultural landscape, taking into account the terrain and modern requirements for agricultural production, it is necessary to develop adapted components and modular schemes of soil protection systems by including crops with high anti-erosion resistance in the structure of the anthropogenic landscape. These are perennial cereal and bean herbs. The proposed models for organization of the territory, taking into account the types of cultivated land, the use of land reclamation arrangements, the selection of the optimal ratio of arable land, agricultural technology measures will bring it closer to the functions of natural ecosystems and increase the efficiency of agricultural production.
