| Citation: | The article highlights the results of a geohistorical analysis of ecological problems of land resources in the Luhansk region before the start of a full-scale Russian military invasion of Ukraine. The influence of human economic activity (in particular, agriculture and coal industry) on the nature of land use in Luhansk region (separately for the right-bank and left-bank parts) is considered. Emphasis is placed on the importance of soil contamination and planar erosion in the process of soil and land degradation, which is especially pronounced on the Donetsk ridge (right bank of the Seversky Donets). The role of the semi-mountainous relief of the Donetsk ridge as a natural factor in the spread of erosion processes is noted. A brief historical overview of attempts to combat the development of ravines in the Luhansk region, which were carried out since the second half of the nineteenth century, but in the vast majority were not effective. One of the negative factors influencing the structure of land use is the allocation of an increasing area for pastures, which increases the intensity of erosion processes. The detrimental influence of mine production on the structure of land use in the studied region is highlighted. The ecological consequences of physical alienation of lands as a result of their occupation by waste heaps, heaps and other anthropogenic forms of relief formed by mining activities are noted. It is emphasized that not only the mines themselves, but also concentrators, communication facilities, etc. play a role in reducing the area occupied by agricultural land, and thus cause negative changes in the structure of land use in the right bank of the Luhansk region. It is noted that extensive as well as excessively intensive land use in agriculture and coal mining in Luhansk region has led to the degradation of large areas of land and impoverishment of the land fund. It is emphasized that the current structure of land use needs radical changes, which should be based on new conceptual principles and a systematic approach to the problems of nature management. Of course, all these principles and approaches will be possible to implement and put into practice only after the complete de-occupation of the studied region. |
