THE INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY OF FOREST AMELIORATIVE ARRANGEMENT OF DEGRADED LANDSCAPES ON THE BASIS OF GIS-TECHNOLOGIES AND SPACE IMAGING
The paper considers the innovative research works in all the directions of adaptive landscape arrangement of the territory: correlation of lands and crop rotations, arrangement of the territory for effective erosion control, forest ameliorative arrangement of the territory, agrotechnical and forestry management, hydrotechnical measures. The lands categories with different soil ecological conditions are identified on the basis of the agrolandscape map of the Volgograd region that had been developed by the superposition of different information layers. The land areas for growing of field windbreaks, flow-regulative, ravine and gully shelterbelts are organized with the consideration of the whole complex of agrotechnical measures, with the use of hypsographical maps, maps of slopes exposition and inclination, maps of safety of protective forestations (ZLN) and those of lands suitability for forest growing. The system of forest management is developed to increase the ameliorative efficiency of the existing ZLN. The use of the technologies of geographic information systems (GIS) for adaptive forest ameliorative arrangement of agricultural lands allows the automatization of definite technological operations when development of cartography materials. It results in increase of the reliability of the prognosis of the environmental dynamics in agrolandscapes and higher effectiveness of the measures for the regulation and management of lands
