Formation of a reclamation layer at open-cast mining
Land reclamation must ensure that the quality of the land complies with environmental quality standards and the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation. The purpose ... ... work was to study the process of formation of a reclamation layer in open-cast coal mines. The indicators of the quality of the fertile soil layer should correlate to the quality of the fertile soil layer on average for the region. For effective recultivation,...
On the possibility to adopt the historical practice of applying technologies for land fertility increase in Eastern Prussia at agricultural enterprises of the Kaliningrad region
This article considers the features of East Prussian land use system, whose crucial component was technologies for land fertility increase. A special package of measures in the framework of melioration and irrigation activities accounted for the high productivity of agriculture in this territory despite the fact that the local climate conditions can hardly be called perfect ...
Ecological and geographical prerequisites for the selection of technological solutions for biological reclaimation of disturbed lands
... the most hazardous human activities. Coal dumps contribute to the degradation of vegetation, fauna, agricultural, and forest lands. Traditional reclamation methods have shown limited effectiveness and require improvement. Therefore, the aim of this article ... ..., forestry, and agricultural purposes. In the first stage, it is necessary to create a favorable root zone using potentially fertile rocks and humus-rich materials from fertile soil layers. In the biological stage of reclamation, local tree and shrub ...
Trends in agrarian land use and the nutrient balance values ensuring an increase in land fertility
This article analyses major trends in agricultural land use in the Kaliningrad region (the proportions of fallow land, tilled crops, grassland). The author suggests a methodology for calculating soil nutrient balance tested on a farm.

Water use rights in the agricultural practices of Prussian conditional landowners in the 13—14th centuries
Local conditional landholding, which bolstered the rule of the Teutonic Order in Prussia, involved the utilisation of land parcels with diverse landscape characteristics, spanning from well-cultivated arable lands to less fertile areas covered with woods and shrubs. To ensure the stable existence of households, the Prussians were granted rights to fish and build watermills on their plots, along with cultivating the land. These rights, explored in this study within the ...
Studying the features of soil cover and bioreclamation of coal dumps
... which directly affect the methods of coal extraction. The study establishes that eluviated material on technogenically disturbed lands shows significant variations in physical and chemical properties depending on the conditions of formation. These differences ... ... structural deficiencies upon reaching this stage. It is proven that the impact of vegetation on young soils, supplemented by fertilization, can lead to the accumulation of biophilic elements in the upper soil profile. The presence of rare earth and radioactive ...
