CORRESPONDENCE OF THE COMPOSITION OF THE SOIL COVER TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE LANDS ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE SOUTH OF THE PREDSALAIR REGION
The presented article is devoted to the attempt of the research team to evaluate the correspondence of the soil cover composition to the types of lands located on the territory of the Sibiryak joint-stock company in the Maslyaninsky district of the Novosibirsk region using the example of a separate farm. This article shows the areas of the main types of soils - gray forest, chernozems, meadow, bog and alluvial, which determine both the appearance of the landscape and the system of land use. The percentage distribution of these soils by land categories is shown: agricultural land (arable land, hayfields and pastures) and forest land. In addition, it was found that erosion-prone soils are not plowed, but are used for hayfields and pastures. It is shown that the economy on the territory of the joint-stock company «Sibiryak» is conducted rationally, which is not always the case in the conditions of slope territories. In particular, when distributing land, the land user takes into account the features of the relief (wide distribution of slopes of various lengths, steepness and exposure). In cases where arable land occupies a slope position, plowing is carried out across the slope. The distribution of land by location with one or another soil type in the study area is consistent with the concept of rational land use.
