Spatial Heterogeneity of Soil Parameters in Different Forest-Steppe Landscapes of Ukraine

Abstract

The monograph presents the results of studies of spatial heterogeneity of soils parameters in different Forest-Steppe landscapes of Ukraine and their comprehensive assessment. The spatial distribution of SiO2 was significantly greater in soils had been formed in footslopes. Magnetic susceptibility (MS) of arable soils in natural occurrence is a rather variable characteristic. The areas with higher MS correspond to compacted soil, which creates the possibility for the detection of inhomogeneities of soil with magnetic susceptibility. The monograph was primarily designed for professional soil scientists, agronomists, ecologists and would be useful for BSc, MSc and PhD students in all agrobiological directions.
