  • Effect of Massive Forest Shelterbelts on Humus Content and Stock in Chernozems
    B. F. Aparin, E. Yu. Sukhacheva, M. K. Zakharova, E. V. Mingareeva, A. V. Koshelev
    Eurasian Soil Science, 2024
    Abstract Changes in the humus content of Haplic Chernozems (Clayic, Pachic) under the impact of oak–maple forest shelterbelt were studied at the soil-ecological monitoring polygon in Volgograd oblast. It is located in the Kozlovsk forest planted in 1896 on a plowed land. The following aspects of the impact of the forest shelterbelt on changes in the humus status of Haplic Chernozems (Pachic) were analyzed: spatial and time variability of soil properties and humus content, humus content and reserves in plowed and forest soils, and soil changes under the effect of old and middle-age forest belts. Spatial variability of soils was studied on two transects, which crossed the forest belt and adjacent agricultural lands. The method of retrospective monitoring was applied to analyze medium- and long-term variability of humus content. Data on its dynamics for a 125-year-long period were obtained on the basis of comparison with a buried soil and with the results of studies at experimental stations performed in the 1950s by the team of the V.V. Dokuchaev Soil Science Institute. Interrelated studies of typomorphic characteristics of soils under the forest belt and on agricultural lands included the assessment of humus content and reserves, particle-size and aggregate compositions, density, soil solution reaction, and the content of easily soluble salts and calcium carbonates. The features of spatial and time variability of humus content and reserves in Haplic Chernozems (Clayic, Pachic) under different types of land use were determined.
  • Natural Radionuclides (226Ra, 232Th, and 40K) in Soil-Forming Rocks in the European Part of Russia
    E. V. Mingareeva, B. F. Aparin, S. V. Korovin, N. I. Sanzharova, E. Yu. Sukhacheva
    Biology Bulletin, 2022
    Abstract The ranges and average values of the specific activity of natural radionuclides (226Ra, 232Th, and 40K) have been established in the main lithological types of soil-forming rocks (red–brown clays, loess, cover, glacial, lake–glacial, fluvioglacial, and alluvial deposits, and the eluvial–deluvial group of primary carbonate deposits). The lowest content of radionuclides is characteristic of alluvial and fluvioglacial deposits and their highest content is in lake–glacial, eluvial–deluvial carbonate deposits, and moraines. The inheritance of natural radionuclides by soil-forming rocks from weathering crusts has been revealed, which is most clearly manifested for rocks of glacial genesis and eluvial–deluvial carbonate deposits. The relationship between the content of radionuclides and the particle size distribution has been established.
  • Milestones of the history (to the 95-th anniversary of the V.V. Dokuchaev Soil Science Institute)
    A. L. Ivanov, B. F. Aparin
    Bulleten Pocvennogo Instituta Imeni V V Dokucaeva, 2022
    The article considers the logic and periods of V.V. Dokuchaev Soil Science Institute development as well as the driving forces during the mentioned periods and the most important outcomes and tasks for the near future. One can distinguish four main periods in the history of the Institute, they are: organization, sustainable development, survival, revival. Some factors like scientific and organizational structure of the Institute, its contribution to the development of theoretical and applied soil science are considered as the indicators typical of each period. Firstly, the Institute structure during the initial organization period shows the priority of fundamental soil research in the leading areas: soil physics, soil chemistry, soil genesis, biology, etc. Advanced development of theoretical research allowed scientists to promptly respond to actual needs of the developing country: search for soil resources for cultivation of technical crops, development of new territories, land reclamation and hydrotechnical construction. By the 1970s a kind of sustainable scientific and organizational structure had finally formed in the Institute. In the early 90s, the Soil Science Institute entered a critical phase of development. The second decade of the XXI century became a turning point in its fate. A new strategy in the development of scientific activities of the Institute was sorely needed. The new strategy consisted of three interrelated elements. The first one was modernization of the material and technical basis for researches; the second one was strengthening of the human resources potential through attraction of motivated young researchers; and the third one was in establishing unilateral and multilateral interactions between the partners – users of scientific knowledge. The main areas of interaction were the topical issues: food security, global climate change and their implications for the country. It has been shown that society can recognize and support the scientific research only if a constant flow of information, obtained by means of different tools and methods, is provided. The significance of soil science as a fundamental discipline in the socio-economic development of the country was confirmed by the Government Resolution (2022) on the celebration of the 100-th anniversary of the V.V. Dokuchaev Soil Science Institute. The modern noosphere paradigm in soil research poses new challenges to the science, at the forefront of which is V.V. Dokuchaev Soil Science Institute.

  • Influence of durative drainage melioration on the soil macrofauna (The Leningrad region)
    B Aparin, E Pyatina, G Kasatkina
    Iop Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
    The soil-zoological research took place in 2018 on the territory of the soil-hydromeliorative station “Malinovsky” of Lisinsky educational-experimental forest farm (Tosnensky district, Leningrad region, Russia) which was drained in 1973-1974. The purpose of this research is a comparative evaluation of the density of the population and taxonometric variety of eco-functional groups of macrofauna on the Gleysols Histic Drainic after 45 year draining period and the similar biotop without drainage. The constitution of group and species and the trophic structure of soil macrofauna have been researched. 118 individuals of geobionts out of 3 types and 6 classes have been collected. It’s been stated that zoophages are the trophic dominating group. After 45 year draining period a poor groups and species constitution, a low number of large soil invertebrates and a small share of saprophages have survived which corresponds to the fauna of the soil in oligotrophic bogs.
  • Radial growth of Scots pine and Norway spruce stands as an indicator of soil and environmental conditions
    B Aparin, B Babikov, D Zolotukhin, E Mingareeva
    Iop Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
    The study presents an analysis of radial growth of Scots pine and Norway spruce trees growing on drained soils formed on varved clays at the sample sites of the Lisino Experimental Forestry (Lisino). Based on dendrochronological studies in Lisino, it has been found that the radial growth of Scots pine and Norway spruce is a sensitive indicator of changes in the soil water regime, climate, and phytocenotic relationships. On the basis of the character of tree-ring width growth, the growth charts allowed distinguishing zones with close to average growth values, as well as with increased and decreased values of radial growth. The cyclical pattern of tree ring width is well expressed in the successive change of zones. The availability of dendrochronological research materials with precise spatial and temporal reference makes it possible to organize monitoring of radial growth of trees as an indicator of changes in climate and habitat conditions.
  • Assessment and forecast of changes in the soil cover of anthropogenically transformed landscapes
    E Y Sukhacheva, B F Aparin
    Iop Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
    Changes in the soil and soil cover under various types of anthropogenic impact are described. Trends of the development of anthropogenically transformed and anthropogenic soil cover patterns that occur in the Northwest of Russia have been studied. Transforming soils, intercomponent links, and natural factors of soil cover differentiation, humans either change their characteristics while maintaining the major trend or open a new branch of the land cover evolution.
  • Natural radionuclides in soils of the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago (Severny Island)
    E V Mingareeva, B F Aparin, N I Sanzharova, A G Ryumin
    Iop Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
    The article presents the results of a study of natural radionuclides (226Ra, 232Th and 40K) content in the soils of the Severny Island of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago that were sampled prior to the first nuclear tests. The humus content in the soils varies from 1.4 to 6.5%. Soil pH levels vary from moderately acidic (4.7) to neutral (6.5). Fine soils are characterized by a light particle size distribution with a predominance of 0.25-0.05 mm and 0.05-0.0.1 mm fractions. The total volume of these fractions reaches 81-94%, which indicates the predominance of primary minerals and a low content of secondary (basic sorbents of natural radionuclides) minerals in soil. The content of radionuclides in soils is as follows: 226Ra: 11.9 ±5.1 (5.7-19.8) Bq/kg; 232Th: 13.6 ± 7.4 (3.0-19.1) Bq/kg; 40K: 302 ± 100 (224–493) Bq/kg. No Caesium-137 has been observed in the analyzed soils.
  • Recognition (to the 175-th anniversary of the birth of V. V. Dokuchaev)
    B. F. Aparin, M. K. Zakharova
    Bulleten Pocvennogo Instituta Imeni V V Dokucaeva, 2021
    The article is dedicated to the assessment and the recognition of the merits of V.V. Dokuchaev in different periods. We have divided the stages of the evaluation into three periods, the boundaries of which are taken by the memorable dates since the birth of Dokuchaev (100, 150, 175 years). The recognition of Dokuchaev's merits in each period took different forms and depended on the subject under assessment (what was assessed) and the evaluating subject (who made an assessment). The first period is based on the perception of his contemporaries. In the history of natural science, it is hardly possible to find any other scientist, whose works so seamlessly combined theoretical research with its practical application. Dokuchaev's scientific achievements were highly appreciated in Russia and abroad (gold medal of the International Geographical Congress in Paris, special gratitude from the Imperial Free Economic Society, full Makariev Prize of the Imperial Free Economic Society, full Makariev Prize of the Imperial St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, Grand Prix of the World Exhibition in Paris and others). The high state recognition of Dokuchaev is evidenced by the presence of the orders of St. Stanislav and St. Anna. The second period of recognition is associated with the triumph of the scientist's ideas, which were almost completely realized in Russia: a network of research and educational institutions and experimental stations were created, large-scale soil research was carried out, a plan for the transformation of nature was implemented. During this period, events were organized that included: the installation of a monument and a memorial plaque in St. Petersburg, the establishment of a gold medal and an award named after V.V. Dokuchaev, the establishment of grants in universities, the creation of the Central Soil Museum named after V.V. Dokuchaev. The third period is rather a tribute to the scientific merits of the scientist. The highest award of the International Union of Soil Scientists is established (2002); a documentary film dedicated to the 165-th anniversary of the birth of the scientist is released; exhibitions are organized on memorable dates. As recognition of the merits in the creation of a scientific school of fundamental soil science, a scientific conference “Docuchaev conference for young scientists” is organized and held annually.
