| Title : | AGROECOLOGICAL MONITORING OF WATER ECOSYSTEMS AND SOILS IN THE BASIN OF A SMALL RIVER UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANTHROPOGENIC FACTORS |
| Abstract : | In the contemporary socio–ecological–economic life of Ukraine, rural areas hold a special place – they are an integral part of the agro–sphere, as more than a third of the population of our country lives there. These areas are characterized by an exceptional contribution to the formation of the foundations of food security. Increasing the country's export potential makes the development of rural areas one of the main priorities of Ukraine's state policy, aimed at raising the living standards of the rural population, improving the efficiency of the agro–industrial complex (AIC), enhancing the state of the environment, and improving the quality of life of villagers. However, the monitoring of agricultural lands is conducted at the state level, while residential areas where the population grows products for their own needs are rarely studied, and according to the population itself, the norms for the use of chemical protection agents and fertilizers are not always followed. Many settlements in Ukraine with traditional agriculture are located near rivers within watersheds. A modern environmental assessment of rural residential areas located in the basins of small rivers remains relevant, unimplemented, and requires regular research, socio–ecological monitoring, and scientific justification for their ecologically balanced development. One of the important environmental issues is the chemical pollution of water ecosystems in the basin of a small river due to anthropogenic impact. Uncontrolled discharge of wastewater from urban treatment facilities leads to chemical pollution of surface waters within the settlement of Tlumach. The soils of residential areas located within watershed basins also experience significant anthropogenic pressure. Agroecological monitoring has been conducted to determine biogenic elements, salt composition, content of trace elements and heavy metals in surface and groundwater, as well as the physico–chemical and agrochemical composition of soils in residential areas within the watershed basin of the Tlumachik River. |
