FEATURES OF MOISTURE SUPPLY OF GRASSY COVER IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE ARBORETUM

From the analysis of the actual data, it follows that at the beginning of June 2014, there was a significant moistening of the humus horizon of Chernozem under the grass cover. But at the end of the month, the amount of available moisture decreased sharply and continued to decrease during July and August. This led to a shortage of water reserves, which could only be compensated by irrigation. 2016 was generally wetter, although the moisture content in the upper humus horizon was low when it emerged from winter in may. The drop in humidity in Chernozem continued until mid-June, when the ELVs decreased to unsatisfactory values. Since the end of June, regular precipitation has dramatically increased the available moisture reserves, remaining very good until the end of the growing season. As a result, a significant deficit of productive moisture was observed only in late may and early June. In June 2017, the productive moisture reserves in the humus-accumulative horizon were satisfactory. But in the illuvial horizon, the moisture reserves were estimated to be good, which did not require irrigation.

MORPHOLOGICAL STRUCTURE AND SOME AGROPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SANDY LOAM AND LOAMY GRAY FOREST SOILS OF THE BIE-CHUMYSH UPLAND UNDER THE BIRCH FOREST

The research goal was to study the morphological structure and some agrophysical properties of the gray forest soils of the Bie-Chumysh Upland under a birch forest. The study showed that under the birch forests, loamy and sandy loam soils were formed, belonging to the type of gray forest soils. All studied ag-rophysical characteristics are typical for this type of soil. The morphological structure also corresponds to the type of soil with clear signs of woody vegetation.

HISTORIOGRAPHY OF HISTORY OF THE STAVROPOL COSSACKS: KEY ASPECTS OF STUDYING THE REGIONAL COSSACK GROUP’S PAST

This study is devoted to the study of relevant works on the history of the Stavropol Cossacks, works in the field of education of the Stavropol Cossacks as an independent Cossack group, trade, cultural and economic ties in the Stavropol Territory, spiritual life, language, culture, traditions and customs of the Stavropol Cossacks. Among modern studies in the history of the Stavropol Cossacks, the following topics stand out: military life and everyday life, folklore and song traditions, the movement for the revival of the Cossacks, as well as the current state and prospects for the development of Cossack organizations. The prospect of the development of pedagogical technologies based on the Cossack traditions of educating young people in Stavropol is highlighted as a separate topical topic. The relevance of the study lies in the need for a private study of the historiography of the regional Cossack group of Stavropol Cossacks in order to expand the scientific and pedagogical tools in the field of «Cossack studies». The practical significance of the study is expressed in the possibility of using the data of the article in the search for supporting material for teaching the "History of the Cossacks" in a higher educational institution (taking into account the regional specifics). The scientific novelty of the research is expressed in a new view of the Stavropol Cossacks as an independent Cossack group formed at the end of the XVIII century. The source base is represented mainly by archival data from the State Archives of the Stavropol Territory, data banks on archaeological, cultural and linguistic expeditions, sources of personal origin, the works of contemporary historians and directly the works of historians, whose studies formed the basis of the historiography of the history of the Stavropol Cossacks. The research methodology is based on the principles of historiographic comparative studies and comparative analysis of sources. Within the framework of the sociocultural approach, we rely on the following methods. Special-historical: the narrative method, the historical-comparative method, the historical-systemic method, the retrospective method. Sociological: document analysis, method of generalizing characteristics, method of ideal types. Culturological: comparative method, cultural-systemic method. Pedagogical: pedagogical interviewing, a method of studying and generalizing pedagogical experience.

WATER REGIME OF CHERNOZEM LEACHED UNDER SEA BUCKTHORN ON DEEPFILLING ESTUARIES

In the humus horizons, the productive moisture reserves in the chernozem in the middle of the slope did not differ much from the moisture reserves at its top. At the same time, in the transition layer of the SUN in the second half of summer, they were significantly higher. This difference also occurred in the soilforming rock. In the lower part of the slope, the meter-long layer of the soil layer contained a greater amount of moisture, which helped to reduce its deficit during the entire growing season. This was especially noticeable in the illuvial horizon and the soil-forming rock. In the second half of the growing season, the ELVs here remained higher than on the upper elements of the slope. In conclusion, it should be noted that only humus-accumulative horizons of Ap+AB needed irrigation with different irrigation norms, depending on the location of sea buckthorn plantations on the slope and the characteristics of their vegetation.
