- Abstract
The article gives the assessment of the state of agricultural landscapes by key indicators: the degradation processes in the investigated agricultural landscapes; the level of environmental sustainability of the agricultural landscape; the types of land forming the structure of cultivated land; the quality indicators of soil condition. It is noted that water and wind (deflation) erosion processes are observed in most of the territory of the investigated agricultural landscapes. During the course of the research it was found that more than 3.8 thousand hectares were subject to water erosion and more than 1.1 thousand hectares were subject to deflation out of the total area of the investigated territories (in the main farms) of 6 thousand hectares. The coefficient of the ruggedness of relief in the investigated agricultural landscapes is 1.19 km per 100 hectares of territory. The share of perennial grasses in the total area of crop rotation was 7.3% before the introduction of the system of adaptive-landscape farming. This value was increased to 29% due to the introduction of soil-protecting crop rotations, grassing and saturation with perennial and annual grasses of field crop rotations. According to the obtained results, the recommendations for the management of modern agricultural landscapes in the Central Black Earth region based on adaptive-landscape farming systems are proposed.
