Control over organic carbon of soil in a context of food safety and climate fluctuation

Abstract

The purpose. To overview findings of investigation in the role of Ukrainian soils and control over edapic organic carbon in a context of global food safety and stable agrarian production at climate fluctuations. Methods. Theoretical generalization and comparison, abstract-and-logic, monographic, expert, calculation- and-analytical. Results. The leading part of Ukraine in formation of global food safety is shown. The tentative estimation of contribution of soils of Ukraine in global problem of deposition of carbon is carried out. Scales of losses of organic carbon because of irrational use of lands are analyzed. Directions of control over procreation of organic carbon in black earth of Ukraine for support/increase of its stores and maintenance of neutral degradation of lands are considered. Offers in plans of action for augmentation of potential of control over the procreation of organic carbon in chernozem soils of Ukraine are stated. Conclusions. At control over organic carbon of soils of Ukraine it is necessary to be guided by increase of potential of cultivated lands on deposition of carbon and reduction of greenhouse effect. Rational use of lands and prevention of degradation of soils can soften consequences of climate fluctuation and raise the level of food safety not only in Ukraine, but all over the world. Sequestration of carbon in soils can raise stability of agrarian production in conditions of climate fluctuation. Bibliogr.: 15 titles.
