The processes of soil formation on man-made objects perform a great theoretical interest, having significance for the problem of evolution of soils and soil cover. The research of features of the vegetation cover, as well as definitions of the different types of embryozems, formed at the tailing dumps, slime storages and transport dumps urban areas of Western Siberia, succeeded in the assessment of soil-ecological condition of man-made landscapes.

The work is devoted to the increase of desertification on the territory of Chu intermountain basin, characterized by clearly marked cryoarid conditions (presence of permafrost and extremely low rainfall). The process of desertification is explained not only by climate change; the picture is more complicated. The ongoing degradation of biogeocenoses, their transition to more primitive versions is due to anthropogenic impact on ecosystem, which has a low degree of sustainability. The authors have estimated the soil and environmental index for brown soils, which allows in future to provide approaches to the evaluation of soil and environmental conditions of the Chu basin.

Features of general types of disturbance and pollution of soil, which are caused by anthropogenic impact showed in this work. Morphogenetic feature changes of soil under anthropogenic influence are analyzed within oil fields on Caspian Sea region. Processes of natural clearance of polluted soils and their opportunities to reclamation within desert zone are considering.

The article presents data on the content of heavy metals in plants growing in the growing man-caused disturbances to the landscape and on experimental grounds laid down in the dump Ridder field. The findings showed that the zinc content in all parts of the plant is high.

The article highlights physical, water and physical properties of different soil types in the Kenkiyak deposit. Changes of bulk mass, porosity of field moisture and soil moisture capacity in conditions of oil contamination.

The review is devoted to the problem of the nematodes role in soil ecosystems and their role as indicators of disturbance. The ecological classification of soil nematodes are given in the article. The proportions of the different feeding groups in the soil nematode community vary between systems and seasons, and they are influenced by a variety of factors, including crop and soil management practices.

In article the basic groups of microorganisms of the postreclaimed loess are considered: bacteria, actinomyces and microscopic mushrooms. Their role in transformation and soil formation processes is shown.

The paper presents the results of investigation on the changes of electrical properties and mechanical composition of soils contaminated by heptyl.

The core of the new technology is the use of zinc containing means, synergistic effects of which are increased in combination with organic substances. These technologies make it possible to get a full harvest of rice on strongly saline, alkaline and saline soils in the first year of their development without pre-washing of the soil. Required module of drainage does not exceed 0,11 / sec per 1 ha and allow to re-use drainage waste water with mineral content up to 3 g /I without reducing the yield of rice. The technology shortens the growing season of rice for 7-10 days and improves its biological and nutritional qualities. Due to the sharp decline in removing salt from developed areas, the adverse impact of irrigated fields on the surrounding landscapes is significantly reduced, compared with traditional technologies, and is economically profitable.

In this work were presented the results of studies on the effect of fertilizers on growth, development and yield of spring rapeseed at the lowest zero-growing technologies of cultivation in the area of the southern carbonate black soil of Northern Kazakhstan, removal of nutrition by the main and by-products, utilization of soil nutrients and fertilizers, and economic efficiency of ongoing activities.

In article results of experimental work on research of influence of preseeding processing of riceseeds by a fuzikoktcin water solution are resulted. It is established that preseeding processing of seeds is one of effective agroreceptions on increase in productivity of rice in the conditions of the salted soils.

Influence of various ways of soil on cultivation on productive moisture stocks and yield of spring barley on the Southeast of Kazakhstan bogar lands.
