SOIL CARBON SEQUESTRATION AND STOCKS FOLLOWING LAND-USE TYPES CHANGE

The influence of agricultural activities on virgin soils leads to the loss of organic carbon, which leads to degradation processes in the soil ecosystem. This paper & ocy;n the example of a Typical Chernozem, the content and stock of organic carbon in virgin soils (fallow, mottled virgin soil, absolute virgin soil) and arable soil was studied. Study was conducted in long-term field experiments with the cultivation of vegetable and grain agricultural crops and on the territory of the << Mykhailivska Tsilyna >> conservation in Forest-Steppe zone of Ukraine. We was discuss the main factors influencing soil carbon sequestration following land-use change. It has been established that there is a stabilization level of carbon content for each type of land use, and approximate levels of absorption by the soil, which are possible under management, have been calculated
