ЗЕМЛЕКОРИСТУВАННЯ ВЕЛИКОБЕРЕЗОВИЦЬКОЇ ТЕРИТОРІАЛЬНОЇ ГРОМАДИ: ГЕОЕКОЛОГІЧНА ОЦІНКА ТА ОПТИМІЗАЦІЯ В КОНТЕКСТІ КЛІМАТИЧНИХ ЗМІН

The article analyses and geoecological assessment of the structure of land use in the Velykoberezovytska community. It has been established that the structure of land use in the study area is dominated by arable land (68%), forests occupy 13%, built-up land – 7%, pastures – 4%, hayfields – 4%, perennial plantations – 3%, land under water and marshes – 1%. The share of natural lands in the community is 25%. Based on the results of the calculations, the coefficient of anthropogenic transformation of the territory of the Velykoberezovytska territorial community was determined, which is 4.7; the coefficient of environmental stability – 0.29; bal anthropogenic load – 3.7 and the coefficient of anthropogenic load – 3.7. According to the results obtained, it was found that the territory of the Velykoberezovytska territorial community is ecologically unstable with transformed landscapes, a fairly high score and an average degree of anthropogenic pressure. The article substantiates the optimisation model of land use of the Velykoberezovytska territorial community, which provides for a 25% reduction in arable land, increasing forest cover by 12% and bringing the share of natural lands to the optimal level of 50%. It has been established that, if such an optimisation model is implemented, the territory of the Velykoberezovytska community will move from the status of a greenhouse gas emitter to a sink. The community's land will absorb more than 13,5 tonnes of greenhouse gases annually. Ключові слова: geoecological assessment, land use, ecological stability, anthropogenic load.
