EVALUATION AND SPECIFICATION OF NATURAL FACTORS OF THE IALOVENI DISTRICT IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA

The Republic of Moldova is characterized by temperate continental climate, mild and short winter, 1701 and long summer with a relatively small amount of atmospheric precipitation. The average annual rainfall volume in the North of,Moldova is 550-600 mm. In the Center region, rainfall is predominantly low (500-550 mm), and in the South - very low (450-500 nun). The climatic zone determines the frequency of the drought phenomenon. In the North of the country, a severe drought is recorded every 10 years, in the Center area, 2-3 times, and in the South region, 3-4 times. With global climate change, the phenomenon of drought is more frequent. This creates a high moisture cleficiency in soil and air, the consequences of which lead to a substantial decrease in crop productivity or even loss of crop. In the territory of laloveni district the pedoameliorative situation is very complex. As a result of the work carried out, new data were obtained regarding the current state of the natural factors influencing the eco-natural settlement within the studied territory. In order to appreciate the natural potential of Ialoveni district, protect and increase soil fertility, trace the ways of development of agricultural enterprises, and thus improve the socio-economic level of the rural population, it is necessary to study in detail the natural factors: climate, relief, surface waters and pedophrenatics, silvicultural arrangements, soil cover, and others.
