PRODUCTIVITY OF AGROCENOSES, ASSESSMENT AND METHODS OF REGULATING OF SOIL FERTILITY

The article raises the issues of the development of the biosphere, which is carried out against the background of complex processes of metabolism of matter and energy. Under the influence of V.I. Vernadsky's ideas, major progress was made in studying the movement of chemical elements and the redistribution of matter within various parts of the biosphere. The energy of soil formation is a new scientific direction that studies on the basis of a systematic analysis the patterns of transformation of solar energy spent on soil formation (physical and chemical destruction of soil-forming rocks, hypergenic transformation of minerals, evaporation and transpiration, heat exchange in the soil-atmosphere system, biological processes of transformation of organic and mineral substances, etc.), revealing objective ecological conditions of formation and distribution of soils and biogeocenoses in the biosphere.
