Transformation of Physical Indicators of Soil Fertility in Typical Chernozem of the Eastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Soils Under Stress

Abstract

Determination of the physical state (particle-size and aggregate-size distribution, soil structure, consistency, bulk density and porosity) and electrical conductivity of thick Typical chernozem reveals its complex genesis, the formation of the soil profile, and indicators of soil fertility. Humus-accumulative soil formation is active under woodland (oak, birch, larch, pine) as well as under perennial grassland. Restorative use of Chernozem soils contributes to the renewal of the whole set of physical indicators of soil fertility. The same indicators reveal the opposite direction of travel under arable.
