Abstract
The article considers the issues of establishing correspondence between soil-forming factors and soil properties. The aim is to determine the degree of natural soil fertility in the context of its agricultural use in the Novgorod region. The main soil-forming factors are the Quaternary mother rocks and modern sediments, in some areas they are represented by the Paleozoic indigenous deposits. Soil formation largely depends on climatic features, hypsometry, rugged terrain and vegetation, which are heterogeneous within the Novgorod region. These factors undermine the processes of podzol, peat and gley formation and sod process, which jointly determine the mosaic of the soil cover. The authors have examined the soil-geographical areas of the Novgorod region, given the characteristics of soils and identified measures connected with agricultural activities and special techniques aimed at improving the soil properties and increasing fertility.
