Agrogenic evolution of automorphic chernozems in the forest-steppe zone (Belgorod oblast)

Agrochronosequences of chernozems with different periods of their use in rainfed farming with application of traditional technologies have been studied in a typical forest-steppe area in Belgorod oblast. Certain stages in the development of these soils during more than two centuries of their agricultural use have been identifie

Degradation of geosystems in the Belgorod region as a result of the economic activities

We determined the rates of anthropogenic degradation of vegetation cover, soils, the river network, the slope type of terrain, and of the geological framework of landscapes. A decrease of the anthropogenic transformation rate of the component composition of geosystems was revealed in the biogenic components bio-inert components - abiogenic components series was reveale

The occurrence of extreme monthly temparatures and precipitation in two global regions

There has been a lot of focus on the occurrence of extreme weather events and a possible connection to climate change and variability. Much of this work has been related to individual events, rather than for long periods of time. This work will examine the occurrence of extreme conditions in the monthly temperature and precipitation for two geographically disparate regions of the Northern Hemispher

A comparison of bioclimatic potential in two global regions during the late twentieth century and early twenty-first century

This work will evaluate the growing season conditions using indexes that combine growing season temperature and precipitation such as the hydrothermal coefficient (HTC) and the bioclimatic potential (BCP). Also, the interannual variability of these indexes in both regions was examined. In the Belgorod region, the increase in temperature combined with little change in precipitation produced mixed results in interpreting these indexe

Sugar beet harvests under modern climatic conditions in the Belgorod Region (Southwest Russia)

The weather and climate conditions contributing to the energy and water availability during the sugar beet vegetation period within the Belgorod Region were studied. It was found that the sugar beet yield in the region currently depends on the climate at the 15% leve
