Hydrological degradation of automorphic soils in agricultural landscapes

Abstract

The impoverishment of physical and water properties resulted from the use in agriculture for a long period of time is exemplified by soddy-podzolic, gray soils and chernozems. Alternation of natural (forest, meadow and steppe) coenoses by agrocoenoses leads to degradation of soils, impoverishment of their temperature and water regimes, water supply and water-supplying capacity as well.
