Change in the morphological properties of chernozems in an agrosilvicultural landscape

Abstract

A change in the thickness of humus profiles and the depth of effervescence with chernozems involvement in the plowing and subsequent replacement of arable land by windbreaks was studied. A divergence of the anthropogenic evolution of chernozems in different types of their use in an agrosilvicultural landscape was established.
