Abstract:
The objective of the study is to examine the susceptibility of agricultural landscapes to erosion pro-cesses depending on relief conditions and slope exposure for further agricultural landscape zoning. Expe-rimental field studies were conducted in 2018–2021 on the intercuesta erosion-denudation terrain. The study objects were the southern and northwestern slopes of the terrain with slopes from 3 to 9 deg-rees. The erosion potential of rainfall over the years of observations was calculated for the territory of the Balakhta agricultural landscape. The dependence of rainfall intensity on its duration had the form of power functions f (T) = at/x (x is the daily precipitation layer of a given probability at an average intensity at for a duration of T min). For this purpose, the precipitation layer was calculated at 1 % probability. The relief conditions of the experimental site (surface slope) were determined using an ES-55 electronic tacheome-ter, and the runoff plots were determined using an SDL-55 high-precision level (Japan). The experimental design included six variants depending on the surface dip, with five replicates. Microfluids without fencing of the runoff filter area were used to study erosion from rainfall runoff. The minimum (360.16 g/m2) soil loss was observed in the variant with a surface slope of 3°, and the maximum (424.76 g/m2) – with a slope of 9° on the southern slope. The effect of the "slope" factor was manifested in a statistically significant (p < 0.001) excess of the average erosion across years and variants on the northwestern slope compared to the southern slope (401.48 versus 377.90 g/m2). The "year" factor effect manifested itself in statistically significant (p < 0.001) interannual variation in erosion averaged across variants and slopes. Minimum ero-sion (374.99 g/m2) was recorded in 2019, while the maximum (417.16 g/m2) was recorded in 2021. A three-way ANOVA of the summary data table for the southern and northwestern slopes, with "year," "variant," and "slope" as factors, revealed a high statistical significance for the influence of all of these factors on erosion, as well as for all interaction effects between the factors.
