В статье рассматривается взгляд автора и материалы исследований формирования ирригационного питания грунтовых на орошаемых землях и анализ его влияния на изменение экологических условий. Если влияние орошения мелиорируемых почв осуществляется на площади непосредственной реализации мелиоративных мероприятий, то его влияние за счет увеличения инфильтрационного питания грунтовых вод перераспределяется на значительные территории на иерархических уровнях от локального до бассейнового. The article discusses the author's view and research materials on the formation of irrigation nutrition of ground on irrigated lands and the analysis of its impact on changes in environmental conditions. If the influence of irrigation of reclaimed soils is carried out on the area of direct implementation of reclamation measures, then its influence by increasing the infiltration supply of groundwater is redistributed to significant territories at hierarchical levels from local to basin.

ABSTRACTAspects of formation and characterization of a radioactive colloidal fraction released by the waste form or produced by association with microcolloids naturally existing in ground water or produced either by corrosion of container material or by degradation of backfill material are discussed. A filtration model has been developed in order to describe colloidal transport under field conditions. Comparison between data obtained with laboratory column experiments and theoretical evaluations is presented.

In Uzbekistan, more than half of population lives in rural area, their well-being depends on quality of land and water resources availability. Quality of land is determined by ameliorative indicators: ground water depth level, ground water salt amount and salinity of soil. These factors do not appear naturally but rather due to the human activity. Inefficient irrigation and excessive consumption of irrigation water on irrigated land in Boyavut District of Syrdarya region of Uzbekistan within several decades have led to a salinization of soil. The primary objective of this article is determination of the level of salinity of soil for modelling spatial distribution of soil salinity throughout an irrigated land by using GIS technology. This technology is focused on automation of development and creation of ameliorative maps, while totally eliminating manual operations. Nowadays, ameliorative expedition specialists still create cadastral map using tracing paper over the marginal areas within irrigated lands based on their ameliorative conditions and by selecting from the three thematic maps and then selecting the poorest conditions of ameliorative indicators. The suggested technology is designed for professionals of cadastral subdivisions of regional ameliorative expeditions, who use the GIS-based software, such as ArcView 3.2. or ArcGIS 10x; their duties include creating of thematic maps based on salinity levels of irrigated lands. Exact coordinates of collection sites of soils samples (collected in 2018-2019) were determined using GPS. The Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) interpolation method was applied to use that data to create ameliorative maps categorized by the salinity levels (non-saline, slightly saline, saline area and highly saline areas). Those maps were then analysed to develop procedures on how to improve ameliorative conditions of irrigated areas.

Phytochrome is the plant pigment which participate in several developmental processes regulated by light. In recent years this pigment has been associated with the detection of the environmental conditions but there is still a gap of information concerning the physioecological role of the pigment. In this paper the knowledge of the role of phytochrome on seed photoblastism is analysed based on several recent works done on the subject mainly with pioneer rain forest plants from Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz.

Abstract A review of literature data on the degree of peat decomposition – an important parameter that yields data on environmental conditions during the peat-forming process, i.e., humidity of the mire surface, is presented. A decrease in the rate of peat decomposition indicates a rise of the ground water table. In the case of bogs, which receive exclusively atmospheric (meteoric) water, data on changes in the wetness of past mire surfaces could even be treated as data on past climates. Different factors shaping the process of peat decomposition are also discussed, such as humidity of the substratum and climatic conditions, as well as the chemical composition of peat-forming plants. Methods for the determination of the degree of peat decomposition are also outlined, maintaining the division into field and laboratory analyses. Among the latter are methods based on physical and chemical features of peat and microscopic methods. Comparisons of results obtained by different methods can occasionally be difficult, which may be ascribed to different experience of researchers or the chemically undefined nature of many analyses of humification.

AbstractCycling of physically dormant (PY) seeds between states insensitive and sensitive to dormancy-breaking factors in the environment has recently been demonstrated inFabaceaeandConvolvulaceae, and it may be a common phenomenon in seeds with water-impermeable seed coats. In contrast to seeds of many species with physiological dormancy (PD), those with PY cannot cycle between dormancy and non-dormancy (ND). In this paper, we evaluate the role of sensitivity cycling in controlling the timing of germination of seeds with PY in nature, and show that sensitivity cycling in seeds with PY serves the same ecological role as dormancy cycling in seeds with PD. Thus, sensitivity cycling in seeds with PY ensures that germination in nature occurs only at (a) time(s) of the year when environmental conditions for growth are, and are likely to remain, suitable long enough for the plant to complete its life cycle or to form a perennating structure. Further, we describe the experimental procedures necessary to determine whether sensitivity cycling is occurring, and discuss briefly the possible relevance of sensitivity cycling to dormancy classification.
