Geoinformation modeling of potential productivity in agricultural landscapes for the formation of sustainable land use

Abstract

The work is devoted to geoinformation modeling of potential and really possible yield of leading agricultural crops in the agricultural landscapes of the Simferopol region of the Republic of Crimea. The study area is characterized by high agricultural development, complicated physical and geographical location and insufficient moisture. Algorithm for geoinformation modeling of potential and really possible crop yields by the amount of arrival of photosynthetically active radiation for each point of input surface is considered. The resulting cartogram of averaged values deviation of potential and really possible yields from actual for leading agricultural crops can be used in the development of scientifically based recommendations for transformation of agricultural lands in complicated physical and geographical conditions.
