Evaluation of the reclaim state of waterlogged land in the design of reclaim and land management aсtivities

The material of this work is of a scientific and methodological nature; it is included in the subject of a new scientific direction - the justification of land management projects on a landscape and ecological basis. The subject of these studies covers a number of problematic aspects of land management of waterlogged lands, and the issues related to the quality evaluation of these lands and subsequent possibility of their agricultural use. The ultimate goal of the research is to develop an appropriate calculation methodology for assessing the quality of waterlogged lands in the conditions of the humid part of the Non-Chernozem zone of the Russian Federation. In the introductory part, the authors show the analysis of the current state of the issue. The main part characterizes the essence of the proposed calculation methodology, provides the calculation formulas and the features of establishing their structural indicators. The final part provides an analysis of the research results, the main conclusions and recommendations on use of this calculation method in practice.
