Renaturation of ancient soils in the vineyards of the North-West Crimea

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to identify the signs of relict agrogenic transformation turbocharged soil under the influence of the ancient agrotechnologies of cultivation of perennial plants for the unique in duration (23th century) during annealing soils in North-Western Crimea. The values of 39 geochemical ratios and rates using data on physico-chemical properties, humus condition, the content of total and mobile forms of macro- and micronutrients. It made the selection of the most informative agrogenic indicators by comparison with soil-standard (virgin) and fallow land thus applied statistical methods. Soil-genetic methods confirmed the results of the geomagnetic survey signs land of perennial plants in ancient times and established features of the formation at the root layer plantage processing rendzina with shallow dense limestone. Technological differences to create a favorable root zone with garden and grape Plantage (type arbustum) with row spacing of 5 m and grape Plantage (type vinea) with a width of 2 m between rows affected annealed properties of soils. Deficiency of some trace elements (Mn, Cu, Zn, Ni), which was detected in soils postagrogenic agrees to selectively biological uptake from the soil during the period of cultivation of grapes in the ancient times. With long duration of annealing develop- mental maturity of the soil in the mountains is achieved. A (first 21 cm) morphologically (for ages 7-9), functional (82 %) in time, and in the transitional horizon (AB) for two millennia apart reproduction properties are relatively small characteristic time saved relic signs and agrotechnological and agrogenic transformations.
