DIGITAL PLATFORM FOR EROSION ASSESSMENT OF THE NATURAL POTENTIAL OF THE TERRITORY

Abstract

The relevance of the topic. Erosion assessment of the potential of the territory on a digital basis is of great importance in the conditions of adaptive farming. Goal. Development of recommendations for the formation of a digital platform for the erosion assessment of the natural potential of the territory Methodology. Economic-statistical and monographic methods, methods of logical and comparative analysis. Results and conclusions. A modern approach to determining the classes of potential erosion hazard of arable land from the runoff of meltwater and heavy rains is presented. The anti-erosion land management complex is a system of measures that should become the starting point for the arrangement of arable land for adaptive farming. The main role in preventing erosion is assigned to the anti-erosion organization of the territory, in the process of which conditions are created for the formation of soil-protective management of adaptive agriculture. The use of computational methods for assessing the potential erosion hazard of arable land, based on quantitative accounting of its determining factors, will increase the reliability of information and obtain a visual picture for territorial differentiation of use based on a cartogram of classes of potential erosion hazard of land. Cartographic differentiation of the erosion hazard of arable land determines the organizational and territorial nature of the anti-erosion placement of crop rotations. The cartogram of classes, built on a calculated basis, is a reliable foundation for digitalizing the solution of tasks for the protection of arable land, determining the nature of its use in the system of differentiated crop rotations, reliable device and reducing soil losses to the level of acceptable values. Scope of application. Practice and economics of agricultural land use.
