Вплив військових дій на ґрунти та способи їх відновлення на Півдні України

Abstract

The military actions in Ukraine have significantly exacerbated the impact with the contamination of the grounds. There are a number of negative factors affecting the war on the ground: the passage of heavy military equipment, explosions of rockets and other types of weapons, the construction of fortifications, the destruction of field-protecting forest areas, the replacement of fields. As a result, it becomes contaminated with various pollutants, the structure is destroyed, the processes of erosion are intensified, and the replaced fields cannot be used for growing agricultural crops until they are completely demined. Soil pollution poses a threat to food security, as Ukraine is an important global exporter of agricultural products. Phytoremediation, optimization of mineral nutrition of agricultural crops, application of organic fertilizers, chemical land reclamation, and reclamation are the main methods of restoration of disturbed soils.
