Influence of classical agrotechnics of crop cultivation on soil fertility in a forest ameliorated agro-landscape

\nThe article presents the analysis of soil-climatic characteristics of forest ameliorated agrolandscape. It was found that in the conditions of light chestnut soils, the use of the classical farming system, namely, the combination of sideral fallow and cultivation of row crops and leguminous crops contributes to the accumulation of moisture in the soil. In the meter layer soil moisture in the agrolandscape was 14.35%, in the forest belt 10.65%. The ameliorative effect of the forest belt on reducing the proportion of physical clay in the granulometric fractions of soils under the forest belt was noted. At the same time, the organic carbon stock in the ameliorative protective forest belt averaged 21.3 tC/ha in the root-inhabited 30 cm soil layer, while in the agrolandscape - 23.0 tC/ha.\n
