Suitability of the underdeveloped southern of calcareous chernozems for growing forest plantations in the steppe Crimea
Journal Title: Лісівництво і агролісомеліорація - Year 2013, Vol 122, Issue
Abstract
To optimize level of forest cover in steppe part of Crimea massively transmitted the unproductive lands to create from shelter belts. The forestation on such land requires the use of detailed studies of soils to determine of their suitability for the cultivation of forests. Objects of study are the underdeveloped southern calcareous chernozems (with a profile of different the of levels of development) on the solid calcareous rocks of the state enterprise "Rasdolnenske Forestry and Hunting», that are transmitted to the creation from shelter belts. Research had included: a comprehensive study of the soil and all the layers of vegetation, identification of environmental groups of plants, the definition of water-salt and of the acid properties of soils and humus content. Studies have shown that in a dry climate, the main criterion for soils with a short profile for growing forests are the properties of the soil, rather than the techniques phytoindication which are secondary. Studies have identified soil parameters and their numerical values to assess the suitability of soils with a short profile on the solid rock of limestone for the cultivation of agroforestry plantations in the steppe zone.
