Purpose. The goal of the study is estimation the scale of the plastic waste’s area in the coastal zone of the Northwestern part of the Black Sea and their role of the of polution formation. Methods. The base of methods is system analyses. Results. The annual volume of solid waste in the North-Western Black Sea region can reach 2.5 million tons per year, and the volume of plastic littre - up to 323 thousand tons per year. In spite of of plastic littre as the resource, at present there is no definite system for handling them, and under these conditions they are disposed of at numerous dumps (including unauthorized ones) of solid household waste. A significant part of plastic (up to 80%) from unorganized landfills and from the other coastal pollution sources is carried out by air and water flows in the water area of the Northwestern part of the Black Sea. Approximatly 83% of marine littre in the Black Sea is plastic. In turn, the presence of marine littre links with the imperfection of the solid waste management system. The dominant way of manage is remains their removal and disposal in landfills. As of 2019, in the Odessa region there were 528 landfills, in the Nikolaev region - 267, in the Kherson region - 54. Almost 17% of landfills in the Odessa region and 26% in the Nikolaev region do not comply according to environmental hazard standards. Significant part of the plastic littre, first of all from unauthorized of the solid waste dumps, is carried by air flows into the river network, and if they are close to the beach area, directly into the Black Sea. Plastic littre is carried out from the catchment areas of the large rivers (Danube, Dniester, Southern Bug and Dnieper), as well as water intakes of numerous medium and small rivers. Almost the whole beach area of the Northwestern part of the Black Sea is actively used for recreational purposes and, therefore, is a source of beach waste. In addition, the coastal sources of garbage can be settlements, marine complexes and agricultural lands located along the coastal line. An insignificant share of plastic littre is generated within the sea area (from shipping, fishing, etc.). Conclusions. The main component of marine littre is plastic, as it accounts for 83% of marine littre founded in the Black Sea. Macroplastics can be subject to long-term movement by the sea currents, winds, waves and poses a direct threat to the marine ecosystem. Directions of movement of marine littre depends on the processes of general circulation in the surface layer (0-500 m) of the Black Sea. The processes of biodegradation of macroplastic are hindered in the marine environment, and therefore its transformation is limited by the processes of destruction and dispersion in micro- and nanoparticles. Taking into consideration the environmental hazard of microplastics, it is advisable to create a system for monitoring in the marine environment. To improve the environmental situation in the coastal zone of the Northwestern pa

Purpose is to study the purification process of water polluted by containing Bacillus cereus bacteria type and Saccharomyces сerevisiae yeast type under cavitation conditions and atmosphere of different gases nature (oxygen and carbon dioxide); to evaluate and to compare the destruction efficiency of bacterial with yeast cells, and to determine the effective gas nature during cavitation treatment of the aqueous system. Methods. The investigated model media were sounded by the action of an ultrasonic generator (UZDN-2T) with a frequency of 22 kHz, with a power of 35 watts. Оxygen and carbon dioxide were gas bubbles as an additional embryos of cavitation. Microorganisms number before and after sonication was determined by counting of the colonies grown on the nutrient medium in a Petri dish and expressed in colony-forming units (CFU). Results. The results of the morphological characteristics of bacteria and yeast, as well as images of cells according to the results of microscopic studies at a corresponding magnification characteristic of a particular microorganisms types are presented. Degrees of microorganisms destruction, expressed in a percentage, were calculated. According to the results of studies, Bacillus cereus bacteria type were more likely to be destroyed, compared with Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast type at the conditions of simultaneous action of gas and cavitation. The resistance of yeast cells is explained by the result of the specific effect of cavitation on the yeast cell wall and their inter-genetic difference in cell wall structures. Higher efficiency of oxygen in the processes of cavitation treatment of both bacteria and yeast, compared to the action of carbon dioxide is shown experimentally. Conclusions. More active destruction of bacterial cells compared to yeast in the gas/cavitation conditions shown that is explained by the age-related signs of the bacteria. It has been investigated that oxygen under cavitation conditions is described by a larger value of the microorganisms destruction, that is explained by the nature of the gas action at the experimental conditions. It is shown that the efficiency of water purification from microorganisms depends on the nature of the gas bubbled under cavitation conditions.

Actuality. Growing grapes in recent years has become increasingly popular, especially among ordinary farmers. Grapes are unique in their composition, and also extremely useful. Therefore, the determination of its quality and environmental safety in terms of consumption by population is quite topical. Purpose. Determination of ecological safety and quality of plant food (example of grapes) grown in Vysokiy settlement, Kharkiv district of Kharkiv region. Methods. Field, atomic absorption spectrometry method using the spectrometer MGA-915MD, statistical, analytical, comparative-geographical. Results. Berries, grape seeds of 10 grape varieties and soil samples as grape growing medium, were analysed. Analyses for heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Cd, Cr, Pb) concentrations and nitrates content in fruit part were preformed.. It has been determined that heavy metals concentrations in any of the grape varieties does not exceed the normative parameters in berries and seeds. Soil samples also have not shown an excess of MPC. The content of nitrates in the fruit part of the grapes exceeded the standard by 1.5 fold. The coefficient of heavy metals biogeochemical mobility has showed the highest accumulation of Cu and Cr in the fruit part of the grapes. Conclusions. The concentration of heavy metals in the fruit part of the grapes, in the seeds of all grape varieties does not exceed the standards. No clear dependence has been identified to assert the accumulation of heavy metals in grape seeds. Nitrates can accumulate in the fruit part of the grapes. Minor violation of standard for nitrate was identified in the fruit part of the grapes. In general, grapes can be used by the population as a food.

Actuality. The floodplain area near the Slobozhansky National Nature Park still does not have a nature reserve status and is under threat of complete destruction. The Merla floodplain is a habitat for a large number of Red Book and Green Book species, a place of migration of many species of European migratory birds, etc. Only the inclusion of the floodplain area into the national nature park will give the possibility to combine the protection of the floodplain nature with the traditional patterns of regional management, without violating the natural balance of the landscapes in the Merla River valley. Purpose. To analyze the ecological value of the the Merla river floodplain for the functioning of the NNP Slobozhansky. Methods. The analytical-synthetic method, geoinformation (cartographic modeling and processing of remote sensing data), a critical analysis of information sources and the results of field studies were used. Results. Based on the analysis of literary and stock materials and our own field studies on the test sites of the floodplain, information was obtained on the floristic diversity of the floodplain, the presence and positional location of red-book and green-book objects within the floodplain was studied, and the natural conditions of the park were assessed. Unique representatives of the flora are observed throughout the national park and on the test sites, a significant amount of which requires special protection and protection. The rare vegetation of alder forests on the floodplain oak forest of the Slobozhansky National Nature Park is represented by groups listed in the Green List of the Kharkov region. Based on the analysis of a digital elevation model of the territory of the NNP Slobozhansky and the Merla river floodplain we can talk about the unity of the geochemical landscape of this territory in terms of all its components, the Merla river valley confirms the genetic and dynamic unity of the NNP landscapes. Conclusion. Based on the results of this study and taking into account the previous achievements of scientists, it is proved that the inclusion of the Merla river floodplain, which is located between the two sites of the Slobozhansky NNP in its composition, will preserve the landscape and biological diversity of the area. This will fulfill the conditions of the National Program of formation of the ecological network of Ukraine and the requirements of its inclusion in the Pan-European eco-network.

Formulation of the problem. The study and assessment of air temperature fluctuations, especially in conditions of expected climate change, is of particular relevance and haste. At the same time, the assessment of temporary changes in air temperature is important as a guarantee of stable development and a long-term economic development. The purpose of the article. The purpose of this work is to find out, analyze and evaluate the patterns of the dynamic changes in air temperature in Gyumri city. To solve this problem, the results of actual observations of the air temperature of the Gyumri weather station, stored at the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Armenia «Service for Hydrometeorology and active influence on atmospheric phenomena» have been collected, refined and analyzed. Methods. In the course of research we analyzed and clarified appropriate literary sources, using mathematical-statistical, extrapolation, complex, analyze and correlation methods. Results. A multifactorial correlation relationship was obtained between the average annual air temperature and its absolute maximum and minimum values of Gyumri city. A close correlation was also obtained between the average annual air temperature and its absolute maximum and minimum values of Gyumri city, between the average annual and extreme values of the surface air temperature and the absolute maximum and minimum values of the soil surface of Gyumri city. This makes it possible to calculate the value of any temperature characteristic, while having the other one. Note that in winter the average air temperature values do not differ much from the average soil surface temperature values. This difference grows and reaches its maximum in summer (July – August). As a result of the research, it turned out that according to the actual data on the air temperature in Gyumri city, there was a tendency for the average annual values and absolute maximum of the air temperature to rise, while the absolute minimum values showed a downward trend (in the absolute sense). That is, in the study area in the warm season, an increase in aridity is expected on climate drainage, and in the cold season – a softening. In the work we tried to define the monthly average values of air temperature in Gyumri in 2030, 2070, 2100, using the extrapolation method. The result shows that if the changing process continues, the annual average values of air temperature will increase with comparison to current normal: in 2030 – 0.09 ºC (1.37 %), in 2050 – 0.27 ºC (4.12 %), in 2070 – 0.48 ºC (7.32 %), in 2100 – 0.85 ºC (13 %). This pattern is also characteristic of other regions of the republic. Therefore, it is necessary to implement integrated measures to adapt to the effects of air temperature changes and take this into account when working out programs for social, environmental and economic development.

A multifactorial correlation relationship was obtained between the average annual air temperature and its absolute maximum and minimum values of Gyumri city. A close correlation was also obtained between the average annual air temperature and its absolute maximum and minimum values of Gyumri city, between the average annual and extreme values of the surface air temperature and the absolute maximum and minimum values of the soil surface of Gyumri city. This makes it possible to calculate the value of any temperature characteristic, while having the other one. Note that in winter the average air temperature values do not differ much from the average soil surface temperature values. This difference grows and reaches its maximum in summer (July – August).\u0000\u0000As a result of the research, it turned out that according to the actual data on the air temperature in Gyumri city, there was a tendency for the average annual values and absolute maximum of the air temperature to rise, while the absolute minimum values showed a downward trend (in the absolute sense). That is, in the study area in the warm season, an increase in aridity is expected on climate drainage, and in the cold season – a softening.\u0000\u0000In the work we tried to define the monthly average values of air temperature in Gyumri in 2030, 2070, 2100, using the extrapolation method. The result shows that if the changing process continues, the annual average values of air temperature will increase with comparison to current normal: in 2030 – 0.09 ºC\u0000(1.37 %), in 2050 – 0.27 ºC (4.12 %), in 2070 – 0.48 ºC (7.32 %), in 2100 – 0.85 ºC (13 %).\u0000\u0000This pattern is also characteristic of other regions of the republic. Therefore, it is necessary to implement integrated measures to adapt to the effects of air temperature changes and take this into account when working out programs for social, environmental and economic development.","PeriodicalId":40624,"journal":{"name":"Visnyk of V N Karazin Kharkiv National University-Series Geology Geography Ecology","volume":"405 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87672299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Formulation of the problem. Functioning of natural geosystems is aimed at preserving their structure, but economic activity leads to imbalances, decreases in order, loss of internal organization and the inability to maintain the necessary stabilization. Analysis of previous research. Studies of the last decades have shown that the climatic conditions of Ukraine can be unfavorable for the life and economic activity of the society. Problems of further research. To find the solution to the problem of preserving the ability of the biosphere to self-regulation, self-restoration by optimizing anthropogenic load on natural systems is very important. Identification of climate change factors is aimed at finding the most active sources of environmental impact in order to determine the real threat of global climate change. The purpose of the research is to determine the causes, areas of initial formation, further development of negative meteorological processes and phenomena on the territory of Kharkiv region during the last decades and to study parameters and causes of air masses transformation, changes in their properties and various resistance to anthropogenic impact. Research methods are observation with the help of various devices and technical means. An integrated approach using field-based observations and technology of climatic series analysis with the help of statistical methods for climate information processing, characterized by high accuracy, allow us to determine their spatial-temporal features and future projections to the natural environment. Presentation of the main research material. Optimal strategic socio-economic development of the regions requires identification of specific links between natural and socio-economic entities, as well as studying large-scale and profound by the consequences violations of the ecosystem at the planetary level - the biosphere and its components.

Formulation of the problem. This article briefly describes the main problems that arise during landscape and ecological investigation of territories. On the example of V.V.Dokuchayiv KHNAU’s arboretum the comparative and ecological method of estimating the soil conditions for the forest-based effect, i.e. species composition and productivity of indigenous forest vegetation groups is considered. The forest represents a system of vegetation and habitat. From the ecological point of view it is a reflection of the environment, as its forestry effect. The objective is also to justify measures aimed at solving urgent landscape and environmental problems, namely, transformation and pollution of the natural environment, the development of morphodynamic processes. Soils, as the element of the landscape, are an important block of ecosystems whose destruction has a multidimensional value for the stability of the natural environment. Aggregate soil transformation has traditionally been evaluated as progressive. However, scientific analysis suggests that extensive farming, inappropriate chemical fertilization and fetishization of pesticides have led to a significant decline in fertility, and in some cases, its loss due to the development of erosion of natural soil cover on large areas. Such processes stimulate soil microflora to decompose organic contaminants and promote the absorption of harmful substances by the plant. The landscape-ecological approach is currently used in solving many scientific problems: both theoretical and practical. The purpose of the article. The purpose of this work was to study the landscape and ecological structure of the forest massif, to identify the relationship between the components of landscapes on the example of the V.V. Dokuchayiv KHNAU’s arboretum by mapping the territory. Methods. The authors’ own achievements as well as the research results of domestic and foreign investigators made the methodical basis for the article. Results. The content of heavy metals on the territory of the arboretum is investigated, a ranking of factors influencing the distribution of concentrations of pollutants has been carried out and the type of ecological situation is determined by means of mapping methods. Modern and ecological methods of disturbed territories’ restoration with the help of phytotherapeutic technologies, which are much cheaper and safer, are offered. When implementing phytoremediation methods, there is less secondary pollution, physical and granulometric composition of soils does not deteriorate, biological activity does not decrease, and productivity is kept constant. This technology is most convenient for cleaning of moderately polluted soils. Scientific novelty and practical significance.

Shamakhi-Gobustan and Absheron regions (Azerbaijan) are a part of the South Caspian Basin, which is a subsiding basin located between the colliding of Arabian and Eurasian plates. The intensive rate of sedimentation process creates a favorable condition for the formation of oil shale, hydrocarbon and as well as mud volcanoes in these regions. The purpose of the article. The study of oil shale in Azerbaijan has been mainly devoted to their geological and organic-geochemical characteristics, etc. However, the chemical classifications, provenience, palaeoweathering and maturity characteristics have not been studied. This study is the first attempt to investigate noted issues. The research methodology. 10 samples from the outcrops and eject of mud volcanoes were analyzed. The concentrations of major and trace elements and minerals were measured by “S8 TIGER Series 2 WDXRF”, “Agilent 7700 Series ICP-MS” mass spectrometers and XRD “MiniFlex 600”. The microscopes “Loupe Zoom Paralux XTL 745” and “MC-10” and a digital camera “OptixCam” were used to determine the age of the samples. The major and trace elements in the composition of samples were compared with average shale, NASC, PAAS and average black shale as well as oil shale from the Green River Formation of USA, Kukersit of Estonia, etc. studied in the published literature. A diagram and index were used for the classifications and determination of maturity of rocks. The palaeoweathering characteristic was determined based on CIA versus ICV and some other plots and ratios. Research results. The minerals found in oil shale were classified according to their classes. According to the used classification diagram, it was established that all studied samples correspond to shale. A superiority of clay minerals in the composition of oil shale compared to K-minerals, including K-feldspar was found. The estimates based on geochemistry and some ratios of elements confirm the instability of oxides and minerals, and immaturity of the samples. The values of the CIA, CIA versus ICV plot, etc. confirm moderate to high degree of weathering. The results confirm a conclusion that the original sediments were derived from mafic and intermediate source terrain. The scientific novelty. The scientific analysis presented in the paper is based on several substantial theoretical conclusions, which related to the factual material of research conducted by the co-authors. The mineralogy, classification features, stability characteristics of the major oxides and minerals as well as chemical maturity and palaeoweathering were studied based on the chemical composition of the samples. The practical significance. The results of the current study can be used for the further utilization of oil shale in Azerbaijan and the selection of promising areas in terms of mineral raw materials.

Formulation of the problem. Infrastructure can be a factor of certain industries’ development in the service sector. Conversely, the development of the service sector may stimulate infrastructure development. Analysis of recent research and publications. Most of the research is devoted to issues of infrastructure and services separately, but not to the mutual influence of infrastructure and services. Selection of previously unsettled parts of the general problem. For studying the peculiarities of the mutual influence of the motor transport network and specific types of tourism in the Western region of Ukraine the motor transport infrastructure was considered as part of general infrastructure and tourism industry as part of service sector. Formulating the purpose of the paper. The purpose of the paper is the human and geographical analysis of the motor transport network of the Western region of Ukraine and spreading of the most developed types of tourism in the region in order to identify the features of their geospatial interdependence. Presentation of the main research material. The network of public automobile roads in the Western region of Ukraine is rather dense, which corresponds to the level of development of the tourism industry in the oblasts. There is a territorial gravity of the subjects of the hotel business and tourist flows to the places of a developed network of automobile roads. In order to analyze the motor transport and tourism spheres for correspondences between them, two classification criteria of types of tourism are selected: according to the way of travel and the purpose of travel. The types of tourism identified for each criterion can be linearly ordered in accordance with the predominant category of automobile roads. Conclusions. Automobile type of tourism uses the ways of travel on all available automobile roads. Cycling type is localized on all types of automobile roads, except international motorways. Pedestrian tourism tends to places where there are no roads of any class at all. Business tourism tends to the administrative and business centers that are on the priority automobile roads. Cognitive tourism tends to the natural, historical and cultural objects, while health tourism tends to the specialized health centers, mainly resorts. Pilgrim and nostalgic tourism occupy mostly lower levels of the hierarchy of automobile roads, although some nostalgic travels can be found in large cities. Fishing and, especially, hunting tourism tends to areas with no automobile roads.
