INVESTIGATION AND ASSESSMENT OF DEPENDENCES OF THE TOTAL CARBON ON pH IN NERIS REGIONAL PARK SOIL

Soil is one of the most important natural subsystems of the Earth's landscapes, which is exceptionally vital for a human being as the main source of food resources. In order to take care of the future one of the most relevant problems of the mankind is to preserve soils of the Earth, their fertility and normal state under conditions of the increasing technogenic effect and degradation of natural landscapes. As the global warming has already started, its after-effects, which will be in-vertable faced by the Lithuanian agriculture, must be overcome as an additional negative factor. The paper aims at revealing the dependence of the total carbon on pH. It also focuses on the impact of climate change on the total carbon and soil degradation.
