Abstract

The basis of rational nature management is a comprehensive and in-depth study of environmental factors affecting the formation and functioning of ground-level organogenic horizons. It was revealed that the ground organic horizon, being one of the elements of the biogeocenosis, is the most susceptible to chemical (heavy metals, sulfur, nickel) and recreational impact. Particular attention is paid to changing the ground organic horizon in disturbed biogeocenoses — recreational impact, which affects the ratio of plant life forms, which ultimately has a significant impact on their renewal; disappearance (digression) of the litter can lead to catastrophic consequences for the existence of the biocenosis. The main aspects of the influence of ground organogenic horizons on the conservation of natural ecosystems are considered. It is noted that in the study of ecosystems, an important place should be occupied by studies of the dynamics of the development of the ground litter, which are directly related to the solution of the issues of rational nature management of ecosystems.
