Abstract

The history of agriculture and social development shows the strategic role of soil fertility in the development of civilization. However, in the conditions of modern climatic, epidemiological and environmental challenges, guaranteed harvests are associated with greenhouse complexes, where the soil is replaced by soil-like bodies, mixtures and various substrates. Global pollution of the planet’s soil creates problems in obtaining ecologically clean agricultural products in natural conditions. All this urgently calls for the development of medical soil science, which would study the biotic and abiotic factors affecting the cultivation of ecologically clean plant products. The same reasons may explain why the present-day European civilizational centers are settled in a humid zone with low-fertility soils (podzolic, soddy-podzolic, gray forest, brown forest), nevertheless characterized by the best ecological functioning of the soils.
