LAND RESOURCES OF THE ZVENIGOROD DISTRICT OF CHERKASY REGION: ASSESSMENT OF THE STATE AND OPTIMIZATION

The article presents a comparative analysis of the optimal environmental parameters and the current structure of lands in the Zvenigorod district of Cherkasy region. The purpose of the study is to assess the current state of land use in the Zvenigorod district of Cherkasy region and to identify problems and justify ways of solving it. An analysis of the current state of land use in the district indicates a high level of technological load on land resources, which results in low ecological stability of land use in general. An assessment of ecological stability of the territorial structure land of the district and sustainability of lands to anthropogenic load is provided. Only 10% of the area of the district's land can be attributed to medium-stable territories relatively low level of anthropogenic loading and least landslide of agricultural lands - the Territories of the Morin, Popivska and Khlipnivska village councils. In the result of carrying out researchesкey directions in the optimization of territorial land use in the Zvenigorod district are grounded: improvement of the structure of crops and crop rotation by increasing the proportion of perennial grasses, leguminous crops; reduction of the area of arable lands due to their withdrawal from arable land and transfer to hayfields and pasture lands (increasing the area of ecologically stabilizing lands); preservation of degraded, unproductive and technogenically polluted land and to rehabilitate affected lands.
