ASSESSMENT OF THE SIMILARITY OF THE HUMUSO-ACCUMULATIVE HORIZON IN SOILS OF THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE SHAKHTERSKY DISTRICT OF THE DONETSK PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC

A study was conducted to determine the structural composition of the humus-accumulative horizon in soils in the southern part of the Shakhtersky district of the Donetsk People's Republic. The representation of various fractions was analyzed and the similarity of soils in the studied areas was assessed. The highest degree of similarity between the site and the absolute conservation regime, selected as a control, was found for sloping areas of fields under winter wheat and under fallow after wheat in the Rassypnoe, Shakhtersky district.
