Under conditions of intensive anthropogenic impact caused by developed industry, agriculture, and military actions, the problem of chernozem degradation has become particularly relevant. Changes in the morphogenetic characteristics, chemical composition, and physico-chemical properties of the soil require a detailed analysis to develop effective reclamation strategies. The aim of this study was to assess the extent of chernozem degradation under the influence of artillery shelling and agricultural use and to evaluate the possibilities for its reclamation. The methods included field studies, soil sampling in the Bakhmut and Siversk regions, agrochemical analysis according to the methodology of Balyuk and Yatsuk, determination of physico-chemical properties, and assessment of heavy metal content using ICP-MS spectrometry. The results demonstrated significant changes in humus content, ma.. Read More»
