Suggestions for mainstreaming agro-climatic zone of the subject in order to assess the integrated land quality indicator

Abstract

The results of the studies are presented, during which it was found that in recent years the Russian Federation constituent entity climatic conditions have changed significantly. This is confirmed by the data provided by the Roshydromet and the given calculations. All this influenced the agroecological potential, which is involved in assessing the integrated agricultural land quality indicator. A climatic indicators comprehensive study result was the three agro-climatic zones identification on the subject territory with agroecological potential 8.1-9.2. The basis for identifying new agro-climatic assessment zones was the change in the agroecological potential indicator by 0.5 units or more. The above calculations confirm the assumption about the subject zoning the territory possibility into the three zones. A territory new zoning is proposed, and, consequently, the agroecological potential new values.
