There are changes in almost all the properties of chernozems under locally overmoistening. In general, changes in the properties and conditions of chernozems under the development of local wetlands went in a particular way, regardless of the peculiarities of soil formation factors and causes waterlogging. The most noticeable change is the transformation of physical properties of soil and organic matter status. According to our research, more quickly and clearly excessive moisture causes a change in the physical properties of the soil. There are changes of the structural state, bulk density and amount of water-stable aggregates. The significant change is the transformation of soil organic matter. There is increasing of total humus content. In a group composition, the fraction of humic and fulvic acids increases the share. The humus profile is stretched. In the majority of cases in investigated soils was diagnosed secondary salinization. The periodic waterlogging of the soil also contributes to the change in the amount of soil carbonates and their distribution in the profile. Chernozems gradually lose calcium, the main structurant and humates maker. Among the most studied soil of Zernogradsky region in the cationic part of the prevailing spot goes sodium. In addition, the narrowing ratio of calcium to magnesium was observed. That is the hallmark of the aqueous extract of locally overmoistening soils

The main contribution to the soil biological properties change in the combined pollution with lead and an alternating magnetic field makes lead pollution. Contribution of the interaction of factors of 20-30%. The contribution of the alternating field was insignificant or unreliable. Black soil and brown forest soils are similar in degree of resistance to the combined pollution. Grey sands have less stability

In the article, we have proposed regional environmental standards for heavy metals, oil and oil products in the main soils of southern Russia

In the article, we have studied the effect of antibiotics on enzyme’s activity of black soil. Introduction of the high doses (600 mg/kg) of antibiotics benzylpenicillin, nystatin) leads to considerable decrease in enzyme’s activity of soils. The class of hydrolyses is most sensi-tive to the action of antibiotics, their activity decreases for 50-70% from control values, the class of oxidore-ductase is least sensitive (10-40%). Antibiotic’s action on enzyme’s pool of soils has the prolonged character

Negative impact of oil on biological properties of soils right after pollution is shown in the article. Eventually, there is their restoration. However, even in some years after pollution, the biological properties of soils aren't restored completely

Significant changes in mountain ecosystems occur after deforestation on limestone massifs of the Western Caucasus. Tall-mountain-meadow vegetation with a large variety of species formed at low and medium soil disturbance 3 years after logging. Physical and biological properties of calcareous soils also vary greatly. The values of biological activity decrease at the maximum load is more than 10 times. Biological activity is increased by 20-50% or more cutting stations with low disorders. Biological properties of soils (especially the enzymatic activity) are very sensitive indicators of changes that have occurred as a result of logging. Changes in the activity of soil hydrolases different from changing oxidase activity at different times after logging

EFFECT OF DEFORESTATION ON THE BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF MOUNTAIN SOIL OF WESTERN CAUCASUS

The number of microarthropods in the black soil de-creased with an increase in the number of oil. The same pattern was observed until a certain concentra-tion of lead in soil (von 250 mg / kg), after which high doses (500 and 1000 mg / kg) was recorded an in-crease in the number of microarthropods. Gamasid mites and ticks of akaroid-trombidiform complex have proven more resistant to lead, and armored mites and springtails - to oil, vise versa

The original soils were investigated at the Black Sea coast of Russia. Severe degradation of the soil in a Utrish nation reserve were identified as a result of high recreational pressure. Soils with high recreational load have low humus content (2-3 times) and a lower en-zymatic activity than the control of the soil. Biological parameters can be successfully used for environmental monitoring of soil of Utrish reserve, in contrast to the chemical and physic-chemical properties

In the article, we have studied the effect of lead contamination, an alternating magnetic field, their combination on such groups of soil microorganisms, as ammonifying, amylolytic, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and micromycetes. The pollution had a significant and different effect on the number of soil microorganisms. The nature and extent of this effect varied depending on the level of impact of each factor, and they were not linear
