The article defines the basic characteristics of the environmental performance of urban areas. There was offered the system of environmental performance indicators, covering the basic characteristics of the environmental performance. There was developed the algorithm and calculating methodology of composite index of the environmental performance of major cities in the context of rapid urbanization. There was conducted the approbation of the methodology according to the data of major cities which are the administrative centers of the Russian Federation for 2008, 2009 and 2011. There was carried out the rating of major Russian cities based on the composite index of the environmental performance

The article gives an assessment of resistance of the brown typical soil of the Utrish national reserve to pollution with heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb) and oil on biological indicators

The purpose of the article is an examination of plus trees clones based on growth study in the seed orchard. The studied clones differ with the characteristics of growth. The perspective clones were selected by using an integrated examination

The spread of barley dwarf rust pathogen has been studied in five agro-climatic zones of North Caucasus in 2012-2013. The race composition of the North Caucasian pathogen population was identified

The essential part of a soil cover of the Republic of Adygea is occupied by gray forest soils. Thus they still remain a little studied, including concerning their resistance to chemical pollution. Contamination of gray forest soils of Adygea with Zn, Cd, Mo, Se causes deterioration of their biological properties. In most cases, the degree of reduction of the values of biological indicators is directly dependent on the concentration of pollutant in the soil. According to the degree of toxicity to the biological properties of the investigated elements form the following sequence: Se > Zn > = Cd > Mo. Biological parameters investigated in research (activity of catalase and dehydrogenase, cellulolytic ability, abundance of bacteria of the genus Azotobacter, radish root length) may be used for purposes of monitoring, diagnosis and regulation of chemical pollution of gray forest soils Zn, Cd, Mo, Se

In this article, we have presented a number of modeling experiments to investigate the chemical pollution of brown calcareous soil. It assesses the stability of brown calcareous soil of a nature reserve called Utrish to contamination with heavy metals in biological parameters. Pollution of brown calcareous soil with Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and oil causes a significant reduction in biological parameters. The degree of reduction depends on the nature of the contaminant and its concentration in the soil. The study showed that the indicators used in the biological condition of the soil, could be recommended for use for diagnosis, monitoring, and regulation of chemical pollution of brown soil. According to the degree of resistance to chemical contamination, the brown soils of Russia form the following series: typical brown - brown carbonate - brown leached

The products containing consortia lactic and bifidobacteria, play an important role in a food of people, especially children, persons of advanced age and patients. Microorganisms - active producers of the useful substances capable to transformation of connections natural or synthesized by a chemical way in substances valuable to the person. In this article the researches of the influence of consortia of microorganisms on meat raw materials are presented

The article presents the results of canning of plant raw materials with natural bischofite and uterine acido-lactic bacteria

The main aim of this article is to generalize the results of biochemical and molecular research of developing opaque-2 maize seeds (high-lysine mutant of maize) metabolism peculiarities

Researches of incubation parameters of meat hens eggs while treatment of embryos before incubation for 6, 12,18 day embryogenesis with coherent source of red light of laser Matrix and red light, in a range of the laser - gas-discharge lamp DNESG-500, are given in this work
