MAIN DIRECTIONS OF IMPROVING METHODS OF MONITORING RECLAIMED LANDS
The main purpose of monitoring of lands is timely detection of changes in their condition, evaluation of these changes, prognosis and recommendations on the prevention and elimination of the consequences of negative processes. To date, monitoring the status of agricultural land leads F SI CACs "Bashkir", as well as monitoring of reclaimed lands engaged by F SI Bashmeliovodhoz Management (reclaimed lands monitoring management of the Republic of Bashkortostan). Data analysis of land monitoring state, other observations of the environment shows that the condition of the land quality continues to deteriorate. Land degradation and soil in Bashkortostan becomes rampant. Suspension of water and wind erosion acceleration of soil is carried out by means of the development of soil protective crop rotation, use of soil protective treatments, forest reclamation, etc. On severely eroded part of an arable land economically feasible and reliable way to end the final loss of soil fertility is considered meadow formation - the sowing of perennial grasses, and then use these lands as hayfields and pastures. One of the promising new methods of land monitoring is the use of Geophysical Information System technology. Satellite observations make it possible to quickly identify and accurately determine the coordinates of an unexpected event of major accidents, natural zones of dangerous manifestations of natural processes that can lead to such accidents, as well as track and predict slow geodynamic unidirectional deformation of the earth surface. Maps created by the use of satellite monitoring methods and land use of Geophysical Information System technology allow visually observe the changes of the land and make timely decisions to improve the land affected by erosion and other processes of destruction of fertile layer of the earth surface.
