CHANGES IN MORPHOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF MOUNTAINOUS ORDINARY CARBONATE BLACK SOILS (CHERNOZEMS) OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA IN TERMS OF CLIMATE WARMING
Abstract
Based on the conducted studies the distinctive morphogenetic features of mountainous ordinary carbonate black soils of the Republic of Armenia have been identified. The issues of identification of those changes which occur in main morphogenetic properties of mountainous ordinary carbonate black soils as a result of their long-term and intensive agricultural use are discussed in the paper. It was proven that the long-term and unsystematic use, particularly the irrigation contributed to significant expansion of genetic horizons, destruction of structural units, displacement of carbonates from upper horizons down the profile, compaction of soil mass at a considerable depth as well as leaching of mechanical fractions.
