AGROECOLOGICAL ESTIMATION OF EROSION DEVELOPMENT IN TIME AND SPACE
A procedure has been proposed for the assessment of erosion development in time and space depending on soil properties and soil- forming processes. It has been shown that the effect of factors determining the soil erosion cause the manifestation of synergism and antagonism, including the simultaneous development of water and wind erosion in different seasons. Ecological damages caused by erosion are determined not only by the loss of crops and reduction in soil fertility, but also by the decrease in the number of degrees of freedom of the agricultural use of soil, environmental changes, and the increase in the entropy of the system.
