ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC GROUND OF THE ANTI-EROSION TERRITORIAL ORGANIZATION OF AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPES
A brief description of the adverse consequences of the manifestation of water erosion of soils on the territory of Belarus is given. An integrated ecological and economic assessment of the extent of damage due to water erosion processes in the agricultural landscapes of the republic is proposed. The calculation of damage in value terms according to the data of the second round of the cadastral valuation of land is given on the example of arable lands of the Republican unitary enterprise "Uchkhoz BGSHA" of the Goretsky district of the Mogilev region. The options for optimizing the anti-erosion structure of cultivated crops are determined on the basis of an ecological and economic assessment and agro-ecological grouping of working areas according to the magnitude of probable damage due to erosion, including lost profits from agricultural production.
