Assessment of the agroecological potential of anthropogenic landscapes in the dry steppe of the south of Western Siberia

The purpose of the study: assessment of the agro - ecological potential of landscapes used in agricultural production in the dry - steppe subzone of the south of Western Siberia. Research methods. The work used observation, comparison, analysis and synthesis, historical methods, and a systems approach. Cartographic and cartometric methods were used in the development of unique cartographic material. Research results. The results of the study showed the need to assess the agro - ecological potential of anthropogenic landscapes at the local level of land management. Using the example of typical agricultural land use (area of 15,700 hectares) located in the dry steppe subzone of the south of Western Siberia, the problems of organizing an agricultural territory associated with the lack of necessary information about natural landscapes transformed into artificial ones are shown. This became the reason for their degradation under the influence of deflationary processes, which affected the efficiency of agricultural production and the sustainability of land use in general. Conclusions. 1. The scientific article presents the results of the study of the agro - ecological potential of anthropogenic landscapes in the dry steppe of the south of Western Siberia on an area of 15700 hectares. 2. It was found that anthropogenic landscapes experience critical agricultural load as a result of their use in field crop rotations. It was determined that the stability of artificial landscapes varies significantly by landscape areas. The features of abiotic conditions of four areas are shown, illustrated by unique graphic material. Zonal features of land use parameters are revealed, and an assessment of all types of lands of the studied object is carried out. It was found that the agro - ecological potential of anthropogenic landscapes has negative dynamics both due to the primary natural conditions inherent in the subzone and secondary factors (deflation), which are widespread in the study area. The conducted assessment of the agro - ecological potential of the study area showed negative dynamics of the qualitative state of arable land and forage lands under the influence of erosion and deflation. An assessment of the sustainability of the studied landscapes is presented based on 20 indicators, which showed that 96% of the territory is unstable anthropogenic landscapes. 3. The results of the scientific study can be applied for the purposes of sustainable development of agricultural territories regardless of natural and climatic conditions, land use area and organizational form of the agricultural enterprise.
