EFFICIENCY OF APPLICATION OF BACKSTAGE FROM AGRICULTURAL PLANTS IN THE SYSTEM OF THE STOCKED REGULATOR OF FOREST BELTS
The most important natural factors that play a crucial role in the formation of the erosion-hydrological process (EHP) are snow reserves, the depth of freezing and soil moisture before spring snowmelt. The depth of soil freezing has the strongest effect on EHP. In forest-steppe and steppe, when thawed soil or frozen no deeper than 50 cm, runoff does not form at any degree of its moisture and the amount of water in the snow. The depth of freezing depends on many factors, but the leading role is taken by the nature of snow deposits. Snow is one of the most powerful natural insulators. By regulating snow deposition, it is possible to effectively influence the soil freezing process, which greatly affects runoff formation and soil erosion. In addition, in the zone of insufficient moisture for obtaining sustainable yields of agricultural crops, spring soil recharge is an important condition. Since one third of the annual precipitation in the Volgograd region falls in winter, measures to control snow deposits should be mandatory in order to prevent soil erosion and increase the productivity of agricultural land. An effective event is the creation of backstage from high-stem agricultural plants. They provide an increase in snow reserves in the field, a decrease in the depth of soil freezing, surface runoff of melt water and soil washout.
