Abstract
Aim. To assess the interrelations of chemical and physical-chemical parameters of soil cover properties with climatic factors of soil formation in agricultural landscapes of the Central Chernozem Region (CCR) of Russia.Materials and Methods. The research was carried out using a systemic analysis of the complex of agroclimatic and soil parameters. Soil properties were assessed by the weighted average characteristics of arable soils for the areas of the Central Chernozem Region. Hydrothermal conditions were taken into account by rainfall, temperature and the amount of active temperatures for the period 1960-2000.Results. Estimated excess of annual precipitation (440-640 mm) over evaporation (407-500 mm) in the average annual cycle ensures the formation of total runoff and soil washability in the amount of 40-150 and 17-104 mm. This determines soil acidity (pHKCL, R2 = 0.36...0.73). Optimal conditions of humus accumulation are formed when the humidity factor is 0.8-0.9. Mesorelief is a factor of spatial heterogeneity of the total soil composition with which 85% of physical-chemical properties and up to 70% of nutrient availability are associated.Conclusion. The differences in the hydration of the territories both at the scale of the CCR and local levels determine the intensity of geochemical runoff, the oxidation-reduction regime and total chemical soil composition which constitute the basis of heterogeneity in the content of organic matter, acidic-base and other properties.
