Abstract:
The article analyses the specifics of the nature of the Trubizh river basin, characterizes the geological structure of the study area and notes that its forming elements are sedimentary rocks of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, which lie on the Precambrian crystalline basement, and geomorphological features of the study area form ancient floodplains of the Dnieper river (most of the territory is located within the second floodplain terrace) and the floodplain and floodplain terrace of Trubizh. The boundaries of the floodplain and the floodplain terrace of the Trubizh River have been clarified and reflected on the map. Analysis of the geological and geomorphological structure and originality of climatic conditions of the territory made it possible to establish patterns of formation and distribution of genetic types of soils, most of which were formed on forests and forest-like loams. It has been found that the most common in the study area are light grey and grey podzolic soils. The regularities of vegetation distribution have been characterized and it has been noted that today most of the territory is ploughed and is under agrocenoses, which, accordingly, has a negative impact on faunal diversity. It has been established that the reason for this is the irrational use of nature due to drainage reclamation works.
