Abstract
The agricultural science has a big challenge in terms of the eligibility to sustainable agriculture. The separation of lands to the agroindustrial groups in this case doesn’t provide full information support. The main objective for achieving this goal is to account the internal structure of agricultural landscapes. The priority is to study the natural substructure at artificially restricted areas, crop rotation areas or pastures. The main factor of degradation of the southern forest-steppe and steppe of northern left bank of Ukraine is water erosion. At the same time the deflationary processes increase in the East of Ukraine. The purpose of the study is the consideration of the case study at the area of left bank Forest-Steppe. We study magnetic methods assessment in zoning the modern agricultural landscapes. We conclude the possibility to use the magnetic susceptibility as parameter which could replace the determination of humus content within large areas, large-scale soil survey, environmental studies, land surveying, creating sustainable agricultural landscapes. The magnetic susceptibility measurement is much lower cost than the humus content determination if the same sampling grid. The prospective of the soil magnetic susceptibility application in soil erosion study is the combination with other physical and chemical research.
