Abstract
One of the promising areas associated with a large amount of information on the properties, characteristics and classification of soils is soil Informatics. Its appearance has allowed soil scientists, farmers and environmentalists to process data; to model soil processes, to make operational decisions on land use; implement systems to assess fertility, control of technological processes in agriculture. Currently multinational and global information systems are used, which contain data on soil profiles of many countries: European Soil Database, Europe; SOTER, global soil information system and others. Information systems at the national level study the soil characteristics of one country: Australian Soil Resource Information System; National Soil Information System (USA) and others. In order to generalize process and preserve information about soils of Russia accumulated by long-term research, a nationwide Soil-geographical database is being developed in our country. To optimize the agricultural activity of certain regions of the country, regional information systems are developed - Accounting and monitoring of agricultural lands of the Novosibirsk region, geoinformation system of the Tyumen region and others. Modern soil information systems, for the most part, are implemented through the use of the GeoRSS standard, which is based on a hypertext providing information on the Internet.
Highlights
Soil is one of the most important, valuable and significant resources for mankind
Agricultural scientists, land cadastre engineers, agricultural scientists set a priority goal - to develop a system of fertility assessment and study of technological processes that ensure the rational use of soils involved in the arable Fund of the country
The main objective of the Soter project is to introduce the technology of accurate and important data collection for the creation of a global database on soils and land in order to improve the processes of soil and land resources inventory, monitoring their changes [6]
Summary
Soil is one of the most important, valuable and significant resources for mankind. It allows you to create strategic food reserves of the country. Agricultural scientists, land cadastre engineers, agricultural scientists set a priority goal - to develop a system of fertility assessment and study of technological processes that ensure the rational use of soils involved in the arable Fund of the country. The basis of any management is information as one of the most important resources of the company's development This is especially true for the soil resources of Russia, since its territory is located in almost all natural and climatic zones, each region has its own climatic characteristics, relief, soil-forming rocks. Information technologies (IT) provide an opportunity to receive information about soils on a daily basis and process it in real time [3] All this allowed to combine and widely use in soil science tools and methods of mathematical statistics, modeling, geoinformation systems (GIS) and databases (DB). Analyze the created and developing information systems (IS) in the field of soil science at the multinational, national and regional levels
