Abstract: | The modern state of agroecological mapping is discussed. It is shown that the “Agroecological Soil-Ameliorative Map of the
Nonchernozemic Zone of European Russian” belongs to a new type of maps with respect to the principles of its compilation and
thematic contents. This map applies the systems approach to the analysis of the spatial differentiation of the territory and
combines several information layers: the layer of landscape information differentiated into seven hierarchical levels, the
layer showing the agroecological capacity of soils, the layer of soil reclamation and erosion-control measures, the layer
of agroecological soil groups, the layer showing the areas that are unsuitable or low-suitable for their agricultural use,
etc. The legend to the map is based on a hierarchical genetic classification of landscapes designed for the purposes of reclamation
works and agriculture. The criteria applied in this classification reflect stable natural components of landscapes specifying
crop growing conditions and the methods of their optimization. The map is designed for solving the problems of the ecological
rationalization of agriculture. |
