MODELING SOIL THERMAL DIFFUSIVITY AS A FUNCTION OF SOIL MOISTURE ^{[№ 12 ' 2016]}
Soil thermal parameters are playing an important role in soil heat transfer. Mathematical models and Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) are considered the modern soil physics. Thermal diffusivity is an important parameter of the soil thermal properties, used to study the soil heat flow. Recently, PTFs are widely used to forecast thermal properties. The aim of the work is to ascertain the relation between thermal diffusivity and soil moisture by a model. The relationship between thermal diffusivity and soil moisture by is described by a quadratic equation, and then determined the parameters of this equation using PTFs. The determination coefficient (R²), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Willams-Kloot test exhibited that the proposed PTF of the quadratic equation is better than Arkhangelskaya (2004) model for predicting soil thermal diffusivity as a function of soil physical properties.

THE RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF SOD-PODZOLIC SOIL ^{[№ 6 ' 2016]}
Formation, stability and, on the other hand, the degradation of soil aggregate structure are the processes related to fundamental physical and chemical properties of the solid phase soil surface and are their functional manifestations. Rheological investigations allow to reveal the inner nature of the strength properties and provide an integrated assessment of the strength of the bonds involved in the formation of soil structure. In modern conditions of intensive anthropogenic load all the soil are exposed to a greater or lesser susceptible physical and technological degradation, which is manifested at different levels of structural organization. The purpose of the study — by modern methods of soil rheology set especially rheological behavior of genetic horizons of cultivated sod-podzolic soil under shear loads. The physical and chemical properties of the genetic horizons of cultivated sod-podzolic soils significantly affect the rheological behavior of the soil. Rheological properties were determined using a rotary viscometer "Reotest 2" with a cylindrical measuring device. The strength of the soil structure parameters, such as the commencement of the pressure of the soil suspension and the beginning of the destruction of the structure in the cultivated horizon is 20–40 kPa, then reduced in eluvial and increases in the illuvial horizon of up to 70 kPa. The viscosity of the start and end of movement in arable soil suspension horizons vary in the range of 110–120 Pa*s, and in horizons samples A-ELB-B and A-EL — in the range of 140–170 and 6–80 Pa*s, respectively. When shear deformations of soil horizons of sod-podzolic soil is predominant phenomenon rheopexy, with different participation tiхotrophic processes.

SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE ORGANIC MATTER CONTENT IN THE SOIL IN THE CENTRAL CHERNOZEM AGROLANDSCAPES ^{[№ 6 ' 2015]}
The study of the organic carbon and CaCO₃ distribution of in the 80 m long transect crossing the field of agriculture and forest belt characteristic of the age showed significant differences in the distribution of organic and mineral carbon profiles in chernozems under the arable land and in the vicinity of the forest belt. This is due to a dominant role in the formation of hydrothermal conditions of reserves and the content of organic matter in the chernozem and points to the importance of assessing the physical conditions that lead to the formation conditions of accumulation of organic and inorganic carbon in soils, determining the conditions for the functioning of soil biota in steppe landscapes.

FEATURES OF MIGRATION PROCESSES IN THE STEPPE LANDSCAPES SOIL UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF FOREST SHELTER BELTS ^{[№ 6 ' 2015]}
The study of the influence of forests in the steppe zone on the soil cover complexity formation is carried out by investigating the distribution of moisture and carbon organic matter and carbonates in the transect consisting of chernozems, underneath the forest shelter belts and under agricultural lands. It is primarily manifested through the formation of special hydrothermal conditions, arising under the forest belt, and entails the formation of stable soil properties such as organic carbon content.

MOVEMENT OF WATER IN AND LOW HEAD GRAVITY FILTRATION ^{[№ 12 ' 2011]}
Soil moisture movement depends on the upper boundary conditions (the presence or absence of hydraulic pressure). It was showed in field experiments on grey cultivated soil that the presence of pressure head causes the preferential water movement. The best reproducibility of the field moisture dynamics by physically based water migration mathematical model was observed when use the data on granulometric composition.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND AMPHIPHILIC COMPONENTS OF ORGANIC MATTER IN SOILS OF THE BOROVSK IRRIGATION SYSTEM DURING THE POST IRRIGATION PERIOD ^{[№ 5 ' 2011]}
After nearly 15 years of irrigation cessation on Borovsk irrigation system due to scaled soil salinization during the post irrigation period desalinization of the upper 40-centimeter soil occurred on relatively elevated areas while cortical solonets were formed in the meso- and micro depressions. When physical and physicochemical properties of humus in the meadow-chernozem soils are relatively favorable a noticeable increase in the proportion of hydrophobic components is observed with relative hydrophilization and general decline of humus content in the cortical solonetz.
