Abstract
The article reveals the essence of such concepts as “rational land use”, “ecologically safe land use”. In the process of the land reform implementation in Ukraine the land was given into possession, which due to the ground cover is degraded or unproductive, the use of which is economically unproductive and ecologically shady, which negatively affects the natural environment. Among the factors that cause degradation of soil, the most important are those associated with the use of land. The current state of agricultural landscapes of the forest-steppe zone in Kharkiv region is characterized by a significant increase in degraded ornamented land, which require scientifically based measures on their normal environmental use taking into account the formation of a stable development of land use and favorable living environment. This determines the relevance of scientific principles development for rehabilitation of degraded and unproductive lands. Analysis of the state of lands in the forest-steppe zone of Kharkiv region in the context of soil and ecological areas showed that in recent years their condition has historically deteriorated and has become threatening. This also applies to the soil cover, which has significantly lost its self-regulating properties. Water and wind erosion is the most influential factor in reducing the productivity of land resources. Proposals were made on the removal of degraded land from the composition of the land in individual administrative units of Kharkiv region and the need to carry out large-scale land management works to create ecologically stable and balanced agro-landscapes was outlined. Ecological modeling of land resources use in the forest-steppe zone of Kharkiv region should be considered as a system of measures aimed at creating their productive capacity through conservation, rehabilitation, transformation and regeneration of degraded and unproductive lands. The system of comprehensive environmental monitoring should be a tool that will help to detect depletion of natural resources and degradation of agricultural land, changes in the environment. Key words: land degradation, soil erosion, agrolandscapes, land conservation, ecological optimization, land monitoring.
