The influence of adverse natural phenomena, anthropogenic factors on the efficiency of land users (regional aspect)

The efficiency of land users depends on weather conditions, which significantly affect the results of agricultural production. Recently, there has also been a general trend of some natural phenomena unpredictability. It can worsen or negate the operating profits of land users in the agricultural production field, therefore it is essential to study the nature of negative natural phenomena typical for the Central Black Earth region.

The Central Black Earth Region is characterized by a high degree of reclamation and ploughing of lands. With the high ploughing of agricultural land in the region, the ecological potential of natural land protection has sharply decreased. This problem requires significant costs and public funding. Therefore, it is necessary to provide conditions for maintaining, and then improving the environmental sustainability of agricultural landscapes and reliable soil protection from erosion processes. The conditions for addressing these issues are formed in the process of creating sustainable land use. In this case, local wind circulation is especially important. The analysis showed yearly average dominance of south-west (15.0%), south-east (14.3%) and west (13.7%) winds in the region, which means that the wind blows with a certain stability from all sides. Therefore, when establishing protective forest belts, it is necessary to take into account various aspects of the agro-ecological environment and climate. Protective forest belts and bush plantings are one of the main levers for controlling the microclimate formation of a given land use territory.
