Some Agrochemical Characteristics of the Soils of the Volyn’ Polissya Ecosystems

Abstract

The results of the study and analysis of the chemical composition of the soils of the Volyn' Polissya of Ukraine are presented in this work. This region includes the northern regions of Rivne and Volyn' regions. We characterized the geographical and ecological features of Western Polissya. Changes in the chemical composition of the soil were analyzed under the influence of climatic changes and changes in the structure of crops. The analysis was made over the last three decades. Changes in humus content in soils were also analyzed. The dynamics of the content of the main chemical elements in the soil is determined. These are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, manganese, copper, cobalt, boron. Prospects are defined for the further development of the field of crop production. The possible consequences are analyzed in relation to disturbances in the exchange of such an important biogenic element as nitrogen for ecosystems, in particular aquatic ones. These are, in particular, eutrophication, changes in species biodiversity, toxicity to aquatic organisms, impact on food chains in aquatic ecosystems, acidification of water bodies. The obtained results are important both for the planning and further development of agricultural production, and for the preservation of natural ecosystems.
