The paper deals with the theoretical analysis of peculiarities of agricultural nature management influence on the components of natural environment in the Voronezh Region. A retrospective analysis of soil research reveals a degree of its degradation. Dynamics of agro ecosystems development and the degree of change in the natural background of vegetation are determined; the peculiarities of agricultural impact are shown. The value of land resources in the Voronezh Region is determined by their fertility. The State Center of Agrochemical Service Voronezh and the State Station of Agrochemical Service Talovskaya control the structure, dynamics and condition of soils. As a result, soils of agro ecosystems on phosphorus, potassium, humus, acidity, heavy metals, mineral fertilizers and pesticides are comprehensively monitored. The Land Committee for the Voronezh Region reveals violations of the land legislation. Agro ecosystems have an unclosed cycle of biogenic elements. This is related to the loss of nutrients during harvesting and the activation of erosion processes. Changes in the balance of basic soil nutrients reduce the quality and yield of crops. Agro ecological monitoring includes systematic observation, study and analysis. In this regard, there is a need for research into the significant magnitude of the associated factors. The existing system of regional monitoring is based on the repeatability of soil, agrochemical and bacteriological studies of agroecosystems. Both continuous and local agro monitoring is conducted. It should be noted that agroecosystems of the region are insufficiently provided with biogenic elements, microelements and in this connection there is a need to create a model of balanced agricultural environmental management.

The article examines the assessment of the state of water and hot heat supply systems of heat and power facilities for innovative and constructive use of thermal energy, with effective use in all areas of these systems: generation, for heating water or for generating steam, transporting it to the consumer, as well as when it is consumer so rich industries. Including the housing and communal complex and the construction industry – for example, a scientific and methodological concept has been created for the implementation of passive monitoring to assess the state of heat supply systems, under the conditions of the initial action, on material flows in them of electromagnetic fields. It has been established that an effective form of reagent-free water preparation in electromagnetic fields is technogenic – the nature of material flows due to the electromagnetic dissociation of their micro particles and the formation of active complexes (due to the interaction between them) is determined. It has been established that as a result of passive monitoring, the systematization and formalization of its data should be carried out taking into account three aspects: engineering - technological, engineering – microbiological and organizational – managerial decisions. It is shown that the passive monitoring system is an obligatory subordinate component of environmental management in the industrial sphere – heat and power facilities of water and steam heat supply systems of an innovative direction. The analysis of the content of the point of view of Ukrainian and foreign scientists, monographs is carried out and joint conclusions are made in the conditions of the illuminated literary material under the following headings: the main economic, environmental and regulatory aspects of nature management; the formation of the biosphere in the conditions of transformation of its individual components; methods of environmental management and environmental policy and the like. In these conditions, the formation of an effective economic mechanism for environmental management is of priority; on the central issue of integral management, it requires clarification – formalization of parameters should be considered effective, which make it possible to clarify a compromise between economic development and environmental safety. It is the economic and environmental analysis of the components of technological processes that makes it possible to establish the limiting factors of development in the system (action – state – improvement) and to determine individual patterns (tendencies) in order to overcome them. The theoretical principles of magnetized water are presented in the works, and the priority level is confirmed by the receipt of three patents of Ukraine for useful action and one copyright certificate for intellectual property, and received support at domestic and foreign conferences. The proposed levers improve integral control in the process of modernizing the technology of non-reagent water treatment (use of electromagnetic fields) at heat and power facilities of rich operating industries and make it impossible to process environmental pollution and save energy costs with effective continuous planning of new facilities. Therefore, through the analysis of the general environmental situation, the technical state of the initial data systems, it is possible to confirm the developed classification and formalization of passive monitoring data, on the use of theoretical foundations in practice – the regulations for industrial implementation, is the basis of the concept of sustainable development.

The study of the components of the balance of biogenic elements in anthropogenic ecosystems has been carried out and the mechanism for calculating the balance of biogenic elements has been determined. The necessity of improving the existing methodology is proved, which consists in preliminary modeling of the catchment area using geoinformation methods. On the example of the mouth of the river, a drainage area was modeled in Oril, during which the boundaries and total catchment area were determined, which is 39.7 thousand hectares. Experimental studies have determined the area of land according to their types of nature use (industrial, residential, forestry and agricultural, etc.). It has been established that only 15% of the investigated lands have agricultural use, however, it is this type of nature management that most contributes to biogenic pollution of this ecosystem. According to the results of calculations, it is determined that up to 10 thousand tons of nitrogen and phosphorus, respectively, are accumulated in the soil due to the excess use of mineral fertilizers. The results obtained indicate the feasibility and practical attractiveness of the proposed approach for calculating the balance of nutrients. Improvements include the application of digital elevation model and normalized vegetation index geodata obtained using ArcGIS Desktop software. It is shown that the technique used will allow obtaining the results of the adjusted volumes of nitrogen and phosphorus accumulation in soils and indicating the sources of their input. Thus, there are grounds for improving the methodology for calculating the balance of nutrients through the use of information technology. The geoecological approach will intensify the monitoring of nutrients, which will help to regulate the pressure on the ecosystem.

The state of soil microbiocenosis in the zone of high anthropogenic pollution was studied. The studies were carried out in four farms of the Voronezh region, one of which is located at a distance of 30 km from the enterprise for the production of mineral fertilizers and three – 5-10 km away. Sanitary and bacteriological condition of the soil was assessed in spring, summer and autumn by the total number of bacteria at 1,0 g, coli titer and perfringens titer, and agrobiological – by the content of nitrifying and ammonifying bacteria. It has been established that toxicants emitted in the form of steam into the environment by the enterprise for the production of mineral fertilizers, worsen the sanitary and agrobiological state of the soil in considerable degree, especially in farms located near the source of contamination.

Purpose. To reveal the peculiarities of geo-ecological status of the lake-basin system (LBS) of Ozerianske lake for the needs of a balanced nature management. Methods.The research is based on methods of field instrumental landscape-geochemical searches using modern geoinformation technologies and laboratory-analytical diagnostics of soil, water and lake sediments. Results. The current state of economic development of the catchment of Ozerianske lake has been clarified. The results of the research of the hydrochemical composition of lake water have been presented. The results of the experiments with the determination of the content and features of radial, lateral migration of mobile forms of biogenic elements (N, P2O5, K2O) and heavy metals (Co, Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Mn) on a landscape soil geochemical microcatena within the catchment area of a lake have been analyzed. A slight excess of MPC in the content of Mn and Cd in the soils of the microcatena has been fixed. The feature of lateral migration of biogenic elements is the increase of their concentration from the eluvial to the superequal facies of the geochemical microcatena, and the radial feature is the decrease of their content with the depth of the soil profile. Moving forms of heavy metals (Co, Pb, Cd, Cu, Mn) are characterized by radial migration - increasing their content with the depth of the soil profile in the horizon (20-40 cm), and further towards the parent rock, their concentration mainly decreases. Conclusions. It was established that the catchment area of Ozerianske lake refers to the anthropogenic-natural (IV) type and has unsatisfying geo-ecological status. In order to improve the geo-ecological status of the catchment area, it is advisable to gradually increase the area of ecostabilizing lands (meadows, forests, forage areas); to control the application of mineral fertilizers and pesticide use, and to prohibit the plowing of land by a 50-100-meter coastal protective strip around the lake.

The construction industry, as one of almost every economy’s major generators of environmental impact, can contribute in large measure to achieving the goals of sustainability. However, most publications in this field deal with sustainability with reference to selecting construction materials and improvements in the operating phase of buildings. When considering ecological sustainability the focus has to be extended from the finished building to the building pro­cess. Therefore the actors of the construction sector who are responsible for the production process have to be studied: the construction companies. The goal of this paper is to study the state of ecologically sustainable corporate business management in construction. The state of application of elements of environmental management systems (EMS) is used as an indicator of the current situation in German construction companies. EMS can help continuously to environmen­tally improve the operating processes of the firms. A broad survey about the extent of EMS has been conducted consid­ering the barriers and drivers. In general, a relatively low interest in EMS and a lack of knowledge is noticeable within the sector. As a result, strategic recommendations are made on how to promote environmental management to foster sustainable thinking in the German construction industry.

Environmental Management Accounting

Purpose Because of the heightened environmental awareness of the public, local governments (LGs) are being pressured to improve on the extent and quality of environmental disclosures (EDs) provided in an array of reporting media. The lack of an accounting tool to identify, measure and report EDs has propelled the infusion of environmental management accounting (EMA) to support the reporting practices. This paper aims to examine the institutional pressures influencing EMA adoption by Malaysian LGs. Design/methodology/approach Using the consensus approach, a self-administered questionnaire survey is conducted on accountants in LGs in Peninsular Malaysia. The items in the questionnaire are based on the findings of prior studies on EMA adoption. Findings The results suggest that coercive isomorphism from the state government is perceived to be the influential institutional factor placing intense pressures on LGs to adopt EMA. Research limitations/implications The results solidify the potential role of the state government in any public policy changes which could further stimulate and promote the adoption of EMA. Originality/value Insufficient empirical evidence on the adoption of EMA in LGs within a developing country’s perspective contributes to a limited understanding on the development of environmental-related practices in different economic stages and environment as well as within the public sector’s perspective.

The article gives a brief description of the Voronezh region, provides data on the cause of landslides in its territory. The cyclical nature of landslide processes is noted, which in the region is on average 6-8 years. Attention is focused on anthropogenic activity, leading to the occurrence of creeping layers of the earth. The main causes of erosion processes are: significant plowing of the area (80%), which is not subject to the rules of anti-erosion agrotechnology; the irrational use of pastures and hayfields; an extensive gully-beam network. The role of temporary reservoirs formed in the ruts of unpaved roads, passing along the slopes and ravines, as a source of overmoistening of the soil layers and initiation of landslide processes is considered. The analysis of the landslide distribution over the territory of the Voronezh region and their dependence on the network of dirt roads is given. The areas of the Voronezh region were ranked by the number of landslide processes associated with the impact of a number of unpaved highways. Of the 32 districts of the region, according to this ranking, 12 are extremely dangerous, very dangerous and dangerous, and the same areas have a very extensive network of unpaved roads running near ravines, steep banks of rivers and ponds, where potentially flow of landslide processes. Dirt roads often have relatively deep ruts where melted or rainwater accumulates, forming local micro-ponds. Flowing to the waterproof layer, water saturates the soil layer, which can slide down the slope, forming a landslide process. It is necessary to predict the possibility of the occurrence of dangerous natural phenomena when laying automobile dirt roads.
