This work is devoted to review the new scientific divisions that emerged in agrophysics in the last 10-15 years. Among them are the following: 1) soil quality assessment using a fuzzy indicator modeling, 2) zoning of an agricultural field using a fuzzy indicator modeling, 3) agrophysical and physic-technical bases of plant breeding, and 4) development, testing, and application of materials based on humic acids for improving soil fertility and solving environmental problems. In recent years, the development of these scientific divisions has been associated with the activities of the European Agrophysical Institute and, in particular, with the creation (in 2013) of the European Agrophysical Journal (EAJ). On the initiative of the European Agrophysical Institute, a branch of the Institute in China was created. The planned work of this branch include research on the stabilization of soil degradation processes, improving soil fertility, and solving environmental problems.

This work is devoted to review the new scientific divisions that emerged in agrophysics in the last 10-15 years. Among them are the following: 1) application of Geographic Information Systems, 2) development and application of fuzzy multi attributive comparison of alternatives. In recent years, the development of these scientific divisions has been associated with the activities of the European Agrophysical Institute and, in particular, with the creation (in 2013) of the European Agrophysical Journal (EAJ). It should be noted that Google-based Impact Factor of EAJ for 2015 was equal 2.23 and for 2016 - 2.00. Many articles written in the framework of these divisions have been published in EAJ.

In 1970-1980, a new scientific direction in agrophysics was started, with efforts devoted to the physical modeling of convective heat transfer in greenhouses and agricultural fields. The base of this new branch of agrophysics was created by research efforts of Igor Uskov. Within the framework of this new branch of agrophysics several valuable scientific results have been obtained. For example, Igor Uskov developed an aerodynamic stand for use in experimental studies which allows for the formation of temperature fields within greenhouses and across agricultural fields. Using this equipment, it was shown for the first time that that heat is carried by ascending and descending air flows within a greenhouse under the influence of local sources of heat. In another example of agrophysics research, heat transfer between double walls of arched greenhouses was studied. The colored shadow method for visualization of the structure of the thermal boundary layer was developed out of this effort. Studies of heat transfer across agriculture fields has led to the heat exchange processes on the slopes being modeled.

This article examines the applications of soft computing uses in plant breeding and crop production. The number of publications devoted directly to application of soft computing in plant breeding and crop production is comparatively small. Testing the hypothesis about the nature of the transgressions using ANFIS is considered. Also in this article a tool developed in Agrophysical Research Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia, is utilized for the fuzzy multi-attributive comparison of alternatives of hybrid soybean seed production.

Traditionally, agrophysics research has included, such areas as light-physiology and photo culture of plants. Recently, agrophysics research has expanded into new directions to include epigenetics and plant breeding. Integration of epigenetics and plant breeding as part of agrophysics research has been a focus of scientific endeavors of V. Dragavtsev. Recently, articles on this topic have been published in agrophysical scientific journals, including publications by the Agrophysical Research Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia, and the European Agrophysical Journal published by the European Agrophysical Institute, Amriswil, Switzerland. In this paper, resent achievements within epigenetics and plant breeding research will be discussed. Specifically, the theory of eco-genetic organization of quantitative traits (TEGOQT) and the principle of background characters of plants are considered.

Heat and mass transfer in soil is one of the research areas studied in agrophysics. During the period from 1930 to 1990, much of the theoretical research on soil thermal regime was carried out. During this time several mathematical models were developed to estimate the impacts of technical treatments on the soil thermal regime. In this manuscript a historical review of publications devoted to the practical opportunities of artificial influences on the soil thermal regime is discussed.

Epigenetics is one of the most rapidly expanding fields of research in the life sciences. One direction of epigenetics is devoted to plant breeding. Today it has become obvious that agrophysical approaches and methods will find a place not only in the improvement of agricultural technologies, but could also revolutionize breeding technologies. In this paper several tasks for interdisciplinary researches related to the application of agrophysics for epigenetics researches are formulated.

Management of land involves for both environmental and agricultural concerns involve many decisions which often have multiple and conflicting objectives. Therefore, a tool which considers multi criteria decision analysis could be of considerable benefit for management purposes. Recently, a tool for multi attributive comparison of alternatives has been under development, and in this article the adaptation of this tool where a combination of numerical data and expert opinions is utilized as input will be discussed. This article will illustrate this new approach with an example.

A modified low-cost method of measuring ammonia (NH3) volatilization is described for use with static chambers. This technique utilizes glass tubes coated with oxalic acid placed inside the chambers to adsorb NH3 being evolved from soil. The advantage of this procedure is that it can be used to quantify NH3 emissions from field plots used for evaluating multiple management practices in an agricultural field. A correction factor is required to accurately estimate NH3 levels inside the static chambers. In addition, if the static chambers are made of an NH3 absorbing material, another correction is needed to obtain an accurate estimate of NH3 air concentration. Values measured with this technique can be used to estimate NH3 efflux rates and to determine the efficacy of agricultural practices that could potentially suppress volatilization losses evaluated from research plots. Herein, the modified static chamber method is described and validated by comparison with NH3 gas detector tubes.

In this work, an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) applied for study the contiguous relations between soil disturbed indicators. Several ANFIS surfaces, which described the contiguous relations between individual soil disturbed indicators (DFSs), values of soil parameters and depth, as well as the contiguous relations between DFSs and combined indicator of soil disturbance (DFC), were obtained.
