Formulation of the problem. The current stage of agricultural development in Ukraine requires highly informative soil maps. One of the directions for creating such maps is the use of digital elevation models (DEM) as a spatial translator of soil characteristics. The literary review has showed that despite the large volume of publications on this topic, a number of issues of soils digital mapping remain relevant. The purpose of the article is to study the possibilities of using relief-ground indicative models in creation of detailed digital ground maps. Methods. The research was conducted on the territory of the testing ground. During the field study of the landfill, it has been established that the soils are represented by chernozem typical of varying erosion degrees. It is proposed to use a xeromorphism coefficient for the quantitative account of the landforms influence on soil formation, characterizing changes in hydrothermal conditions for a particular section of the topography, compared with the horizontal surface. A detailed DTM was obtained, using the "Phantom 3" UAV.The derivative models of a number of topographic parameters were built on its basis later. A digital model of xeromorphism of the territory was built, transformed into a model of organic carbon (C) content. The specified map shows initial conditions of the soil cover. It can be used as a standard to compare parameters of modern soils for assessment of extent of their degradation. Comparison of this map with the map of actual C content has shown that average loss of C by soils of the studied area owing to anthropogenic degradation can be estimated at 5.1 kg on 1 t of the soil. Results. Investigations have proved that the geoinformation analysis of landforms allows to quantitatively shape hydrothermal conditions of soil formation for a certain territory. The cartographic materials constructed on such a methodical approach characterize landscape potential on soil formations and reflect quasi-virgin land condition of the soil. Scientific novelty and practical significance. The detailed soil maps, based on the results of field and laboratory soil studies, leading to potential soil assessment for DEM analysis in the article, allow to adequately estimate and objectively represent distribution of eroded and xeromorphic soils and their complexes on sloping lands.

The paper emphasizes that the key features of the contemporary urban development have caused a number of challengers, which require the innovative technological introductions in urban studies.

Purpose. Show the sequence of actions on anti-erosion optimization of land use structure on the example of agro-enterprises of the Kharkiv region and further ways to increase its efficiency. Methods. Cartographic, statistical, geoinformation analysis, mathematical modeling, magnetizing. Results. An example of erosion optimization of land use is shown on the basis of mathematical modeling of potential soil losses under different land use conditions for three typical farms of the Kharkiv region (Ukraine). The simulation was carried out using the model of C. Myrtshulawa using DEM in the ArcGIS environment. Using GIS to simulate and visualize the results allows you to identify the most erosionally hazardous areas and make an individual selection of crop rotation for each farm. The erosion risk which modeling was revealed can be prevented by means of organizational and agronomic measures, which requires the minimal economic costs. The ways of checking the effectiveness of agro-forest-meliorative measures with application of methods and means of magnetic investigation are offered. Conclusions. Anti-erosion optimization of land use allows achieving the values of soil losses in all fields of investigated farms. At the same time, soil losses decrease, depending on the initial level of danger and the degree of transformation of crop rotation from 10% on slopes to 1.5 °, up to 4.2 times in complicated areas.

Purpose. Eco-toxicological assessment of surface water and bottom sediments of Vyalivsky reservoir and based on the results of experimental studies on the influence of anthropogenic pollution on the livelihoods of fodder organisms, to calculate the damage caused to water bodies by the indicator of decrease of bio-productivity on the example of Vyalivsky reservoir. Methods. Biotesting of water samples was carried out using zooplankton (Ceriodaphnia affinis Lilljeborg) and zoobenthos - insect larvae (Chironomus dorsalis Meig.) as a test facility for fodder organisms for fish. For estimation of losses caused for Vyalivsky reservoir we used methodology for calculating the amount of compensation for damage caused to the fishery as a result of violations of legislation on the protection, use and reproduction of aquatic biological resources. Results According to the results of determination of the toxicity of surface waters and bottom sediments, damages caused to Vyalivsky reservoir were calculated on the indicator of decrease in fish productivity as a result of the death of fodder organisms for fish. Conclusions The toxicological studies of surface waters and bottom sediments of Vyalivsky reservoir have revealed the presence of toxic properties of the investigated objects, which may result in the reduction of biomass of fodder organisms of aboriginal species of fish in a given reservoir.
