“…Despite this decline, various farms remained active during the Roman and Byzantine periods, apparently focused on gardening [32]. The long-fallowed lands have suffered two phases of humid and dry climate [33] that could affect the conservation of the palaeomorphic features of agrogenesis. When croplands are abandoned, the starting conditions for the restoration process largely depend on the site-specific ecological characteristics (i.e., soil type, climate, former crops, field area, and availability of propagules) [34].…”

Geochemical Features of Fallow Land in Ancient Plots in the Chora of Chersonesos

The ancient city of Chersonesos created an agricultural zone in the 4th and 3rd centuries BC (under the conditions of climate aridization); this zone was initially used for viticulture and the export of wine, and grain farming later developed at the distant chora (in North-Western (NW) Crimea). The purpose of our work was to verify whether the ampeloecological conditions, especially the geochemical features of the soil and rock, limited viticulture in NW Crimea. Fallow lands in 13 plots in the near and distant chora of Chersonesos were studied using ampelopedology; specifically, we compared agrochemical properties and the concentrations of macro- and trace elements in the renaturation soil horizon and in the parent rock. The main differences between the soils of the two regions were determined by the accumulation of cinnamonic soils of Chersonesos Si, K, Fe, Al, P2O5; in the distant chora, there are specific elements, including V, Pb, Rb, Cr. The climate and the biogeochemical diversity of soils and rock could be significant factors causing the differences in wine quality in the two regions of western Crimea; these factors are still reflected in modern viticultural practices when using the concept of “terroir”. These findings are consistent with the different roles of ancient viticulture in SW (South-Western) and NW (North-Western) Crimea (i.e., export and local consumption, respectively), which have been highlighted by historians.

“…However, this chernozem is similar or inferior in the abundance of cellulose-degrading microorganisms and characterized by lower activity of the nitrification process. Carbonate chernozems, which are classified as an independent soil subtype in Moldova, are similar to southern chernozems to some extent (Lisetskii et al, 2013). A com-parison of the microbiology of all soils in Moldova (Mehtiev, 1984) showed that carbonate chernozems (with an average 2-2.5% level of CaCO 3 in the upper layer) differ from the subtypes located to the north by the lower abundance of bacteria and fungi, but the larger proportion of actinomycetes.…”

⎯According to data on the abundance of taxonomic, physiological, and ecotrophic microbial groups, analysis of the seasonal changes in their composition under conditions of artificial (irrigation) and natural (wet land formation) soil moistening was carried out. It was revealed with statistical reliability that the greatest response to changes caused by different soil moistening modes was observed in the numbers of aerobic cellulose-degrading microorganisms, denitrifiers, and fungi. An increase in erosion resistance of steppe soils during irrigation is explained by the combined effect of physicochemical and biological processes, and by higher numbers of algae, fungi, aerobic cellulose-degrading microorganisms, and oligonitrophiles, in particular.

“…Therefore, here is possible to predict a large number o f paths for soils recovery in the lands that have been disturbed by human activity. The change in the rates o f weathering and pedogenesis, which both in Holocene [15][16][17] and in the modem era [18] were due to climatic rhythm, formed the accumulated effect in the geochemical composition of soils and rocks.…”

In regions with complex geological history, diversity of climate, soils and parent rocks, it is possible to predict a large number of paths for soils recovery in the areas that have been disturbed by human activity. The purpose o f this work was to identify territorial difference of rocks within the Crimean Peninsula basing on the content of the trace elements and macroelements, assessment of potential suitability o f disturbed rocks of various age and chemical composition for efficient pedogenesis during implementation of projects for vegetative topsoil recovery in post-mining landscapes. The studied objects have been classified as per the results o f cluster analysis, and seven main groups of rocks have been determined based on the content o f 16 chemical elements. The most informative geochemical indicators and ratios have been determined; this allowed justifying three general types o f rocks based on the difference of their properties related to their mineral composition and the results o f weathering and migration processes in the past. In order to determine the initial conditions for soil recovery, geochemical particularities o f upper horizons o f soils and parent rocks composing them in three regions o f the Crimean Peninsula have been compared. The ordered series of chemical elements have been created based on their ability to accumulate in soils compared to rocks. This allowed determining the deficiency o f those elements that can restrain the activity o f biological and soil processes during soil recovery in post-mining landscapes. The results of the study create a bioecological basis for ecological restoration of disturbed soils represented by sedimentary rocks of different geochemical composition in the development of the mineral deposits of solid useful minerals.
