This report investigates the intricate interplay between the drivers of changes in soil health, along with the pressures and impacts on soil in the 32 European Environment Agency (EEA) member countries, as well as six cooperating countries from the West Balkans, Ukraine, and the UK. It sheds light on the multifaceted challenges facing soil conserva...

Ukraine’s soils, climate, and research infrastructure provide a solid foundation for advancing perennial grain research and development. In 2021, Ukraine was #1 globally in production of sunflower, top exporter of sunflower oil and meal, and provided 20% of the world’s exported rapeseed, 17% of the barley, 12% of the corn, and 9% of the wheat. Whil...

Since 24 of February 2022, military activities following the large-scale invasion of russian troops into Ukrainian territory lead to degradation of agricultural landscapes affecting 20-30 % of Ukrainian territory and 182 900 km2 (during the first 8 months) of arable soil. Main ecosystem damage include soil and water pollution (including Pb, Cd, Cr,...

Soil monitoring programs in many countries often do not measure such an indicator as soil bulk density. At the same time, modern problems of assessing the condition of the soil cover require its use in soil management of agricultural landscapes. We see the solution to this problem in geospatial modeling. We have developed a technique for simulating...

Our purpose is a preliminary assessment of the effects of war in Ukraine on its soils. Realistic diagnosis demands details at the scale at which war operates. Lacking a soil map at this scale, and a new survey being out of the question, we modelled a predictive soil map of the whole country at scale 1:10,000. This enables accurate assessment of the...

The work is devoted to the study of the insect pollination influence on the qualitative and qualitative indica-tors of the 14 high-productive autofertile Helianthus annuus L. hybrids by five producers, grown under conditions of the Prut-Dniester interfluve. The following components of the oilseed sunflower crop structure were analyzed: dry weight o...

Soils are the interface of streams of matter and energy. In the modern world, they are constantly under man-made pressure, not least from pollution, so we need to monitor their status. If we know the points of impact, we can model the flows of solid particles and salts in solution, predict the trajectory of pollutants and, thereby, reduce the numbe...

Introduction. Sunflower is one of the most profitable high yielding technical crops in Ukraine. Insect pollination plays a vital role in determining its productivity. Nowadays a wide range of the new hybrides with high self-fertility rate are supposed to mature seeds in the absence of honey bees and other pollinators. In order to evaluate the effec...

Soil maps in Ukraine need to be updated as a matter of urgency. They are now more than 30 years old, many are 60 years old. The original mapping was undertaken for other purposes than today’s, and the soils have changed. Apart from all this, systematic errors have been introduced by digitization, geodesic rectification and the attribution of soil c...

Invasions of species into ecosystems lead to their transformation and in some cases to degradation. The spanish slug Arion lusitanicus Mabille, 1868 (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Stylommatophora: Arionidae) has been spread actively in Europe including some regions of Ukraine recently. This is a dangerous invasive species that causes significant damage to...

The aim of the study was to identify the impact of digital elevation models of different origins on the qualitative characteristics of forecast maps of soil cover or cartograms of agro-production soil groups using predictive modeling technologies. The current situation with large-scale soil cartographic data in Ukraine is analyzed and it is shown t...

Knowing the spatial distribution of individual soil taxonomic units is a key factor in man-aging efficient land use not only for agriculture but also for forestry. The use of a comprehensive soil surveys held in past decades and based on fieldwork created the basis for the initial spatial representation of the soil fund structure. However, the spat...

An analysіs of possіble verіfіcatіon methods from the results іs a necessary and іmportant process for makіng substantіated conclusіons about the qualіty of the modelіng performed. Іn contrast to the popular lіterature recommendatіons on the process of verіfyіng the results of sіmulatіon of soіl coverіngs purely from the mathematіcal sіde, a so-cal...

The organization of monitoring in most countries involves the activities of a number of organizations, and therefore minimizing the costs of its implementation by introducing the latest methods of sampling in contaminated zones or soils or other natural formations due to man-made substances is an urgent and necessary task. Soils are the interface o...

An analysis of the current state of cartographic information about soil cover of Ukraine shows that there are a number of significant problems. This relates to three basic points: their availability and accessibility, rel-evance and accuracy. In particular, large areas of the territory have not yet created large-scale soil maps, espe-cially in the...

The use of resampling of classical orthogonal digital elevation models in hexagonal with a method based on hyperpel and calculate the values of the resulting cells with formulas weighted arithmetic, geometric and harmonic gives quite pleasing results. Statistical analysis shows that the resulting hexagonal and the original digital elevation models...

The main goal of the mathematical experiment was to compare the accuracy of the construction of predicative maps, depending on the type of input data, in particular the soil map and the complete or abbreviated (without definitions by composition of grain size) variants of the cartograms of agro-industrial soil groups. The tasks were solved: by buil...

The basic soil maps of Ukraine were created during broadscale surveys between 1956 and 1961. There has been further examination of several areas but, even now, there are places without soil information. Comparison of the soil maps with remotely sensed data and digital elevation models shows some significant differences, especially in the definition...

The aim of this article is to demonstrate application of soil fertility models as an indicator of soil quality. We designed a model of soil fertility with a finite number of parameters which is important in adapting the model for use in other countries and with regard to the accessibility of various data sets of soil parameters in the countries. Th...
