On the basis of field route researches and the establishment of genetic properties of Northern Caspian coastal zone soils, a scale of soil resistance to anthropogenic impacts has been developed. Maps of soil resistance to mechanical disturbances and oil-chemical pollution have been compiled. Geo-information technologies and remote sensing materials were used for the mapping.

The article presents the results of a study of the use of Green-Eco biomeliorant in the biological activity of rice-bearing soils.In particular, established quantitative impact on the protease and amylase activity. Under the conditions of field experience, it was found that the total protease activity of soils and the content of ninhydrin of positive substances (free amino acids and proteins) in the variant with Green-Eco during the vegetation of rice is much higher than the soils where this biomeliorant was not introduced, and this is evidence that the intensity of microbiological processes the transformation of nitrogen-containing organic substances during the application of the test biomeliorant is enhanced.

The results of researches on agroecological assessment of arable lands expressed in total electronic cards which reflect the agroecological factors considered at projection of adaptive and landscape systems of agriculture are given. The group of agroecological views of lands according to the nature of natural restrictions for cultivation of cultures and character of actions for their overcoming or adaptation on four categories is carried out.

The application of manure and compost based on it contributed to an increase in the carbon content. On control (without fertilization), the carbon content was 1.7 %. After the application of manure, compost (litter + straw) and compost (litter + husk) at a dose of 10 tons per ha, the carbon content was 1.80, 1.83 and 1.90 % respectively. The use of manure and compost on its basis had an impact on the qualitative composition of humus. On the control, the ratio of HA / FA was 1.25, which indicates a fulvate-humate type of humus. After the introduction of organic fertilizers, the quality of humus was improved by HA / FA 1.47 ... 1.79. High efficiency of action and aftereffect on the qualitative and quantitative composition of humus of chernozem podzo-lized has compost (litter + husk). Action and aftereffect of compost (litter + husk). Contributed to an increase in the content of fractions of HA and humans due to a decrease in the fraction of FA fractions, shifting the type of humus formation from fulvate to humate, while enhancing the degree of humification of organic matter. Along with the increase in humicity and saturation with hardly soluble fractions of humus, the compost application (litter + husk) provided the maximum content of mobile forms of humic acids available for plant nutrition, significantly increasing the agronomic value of humus of podzolized chernozem, increasing its ability to withstand adverse effects.

The information about a state of the Siyazan-Sumgayit massive soils in Azerbaijan was given in the article. It is noted that a massive climate is subtropic and a level of the subsoil waters is lower than the river waters level. The salts quantity in the massive soils have been studied and it was defined that a salt composition exposed to the strong changes depending on the seasons.

The article considers the possibilities of using modern GIS and ERS methods to study the salinity of agrolandscape soils. It is established that the application of GIS and ERS methods in conjunction with the traditional ground-based method allows to effectively diagnose soil salinity. Using this method, a long-term dynamics of the degree of soil salinization in the Otyrar district of the SKO and maps of soil salinity for the years 1988, 2010 and 2015 was compiled.

The article presents the ecological assessment of the Geghama ridge soils for the content of heavy metals (HM) in them. Based on the results of the research, the presence of heavy metals in various types and subtypes of soils, their distribution pattern and migration along soil layers have been established. A correlation between the content of heavy metal forms in soil, the amount of humus and physico-chemical indicators of soils have been revealed. The content of heavy metals along the soil profile of Gegham ridge is decreasing downward and in some HM (Cd, Cu) it exceeds clarke.

On the basis of the conduction of the agroecological evaluation and monitoring of the pasture soils in the Gobustan massif of Azerbaijan it was revealed that the semidesert landscapes occupy more than 67 % of the territory, but score of evaluation is very low-41(forty one) scores, an average productivity-6.05 centner/hectare of dry mass. It is connected with that dominating grey-brown soils of semidesert are weakly ensured with nutrient, macro- and microelements. After revealing of the main nutrient deficiency, including microelements in the pasture grass, the experiments were carried out over study of the effect of macro-and microfertilizers related to harrowing in 2 (two) marks on wormwood -ephemer productivity with the admixture of the pasture saltbushes, under this capacity the pastures rose 2 times, collection of exchangeable energy 108 %, the net profit was 399,6 manats /hectare.

The author of the article, a veteran of land management and tax services in Kazakhstan, critically observes the existing methodical instructions on soils evaluation of arable lands in irrigated and nonirrigated zones of Kazakhstan and suggests to adapt them under the changed land -use conditions taking into account modern requirements in new economic and political realities. Simultaneously the author suggests to make efforts for the development of a technique for evaluation of soils in Kazakhstan with its binding not to the productivity of the basic agricultural crops or fodder advantages of pastures or hayfields but to the manufacture of products, consumed by people, expressed in Kcals. At the same time the author proposes to evaluate all the territories of the Earth planet on the basis of a new introduced indicator - existential price of territory - EPT, the design procedure of which is necessary to be developed. In conclusion, the author suggests to study and examine the problem on genetic indexation of soil horizons on the basis of Latin graphics.
