NATURAL RESOURCES of PRIPJAT POLESJE AND THEIR RATIONAL USE
Natural landscape conditions of Pripjat Polesje from the point of nature management have been estimated. These conditions, on the one hand, create difficulties for the development of the region due to the frequent floods in the basin of Pripjat and droughts, on the other hand, provide a competitive advantage due to the high heat supply of the area. The features of the modern use of natural resources in the region are shown. It was found that many of their types (mineral raw materials, water, biological, tourism and recreation) has substantial reserves that may be involved in the economic turnover without any damage to ecosystems. Priority directions of optimization of nature management that provide increase of productivity for specific types of resources (land resources, wildlife resources), improvement of the quality (water recourses, feed resources of natural and drained meadows), creation of necessary production infrastructure (recreational resources, plant resources). Ecological-economic zoning of the territory of region have been determined. The possibility for the breeding of beef cattle in the region has been notified and the technological solutions for that has been developed as well as the technology of phyto-remediation of developed peat deposits by growing cranberry and blueberry.
