Abstract

Summary

Soil erosion is a significant global environmental issue that degrades soil fertility, contributes to land degradation, and threatens agricultural productivity, which in turn impacts food security. With increasing pressure on food production to meet rising global demand, soil erosion exacerbates challenges to maintaining soil resources. This research employs cartographic analysis, statistical modeling, and economic evaluation to assess soil erosion dynamics and its effects on land productivity. The study compares two scenarios: one where no intervention is made, allowing natural erosion processes to continue, and another where soil protection measures, such as crop rotation and the use of perennial vegetation, are implemented. Findings from the research conducted in the Rogan UTC of Kharkiv district reveal that, without intervention, soil erosion results in substantial reductions in crop yields and economic losses. For instance, in eroded lands, wheat and corn yields decline by up to 38% and 73%, respectively. Conversely, implementing soil protection strategies significantly reduces these losses, improving soil quality and reducing economic damage. The study underscores the need for effective land management practices to combat soil erosion and highlights the importance of further research into the long-term environmental and economic implications of such measures for sustainable agricultural development.
