Scientific developments

 

LABORATORY OF AGROECOLOGY

The technology of reclamation of skeletal and sandy soils for gardens by trench ploughing, which makes it possible to develop unproductive soils for perennial crops, common in areas of Crimea that are favorable for climatic indicators.

 

FLORA AND VEGETATION LABORATORY

Scientific developments find commercial application. They are widely used in conducting phytosanitary surveys of territories allocated for resort, recreational and residential construction, as well as areas where engineering structures and communications are being repaired.

Thus, the results obtained in the course of research are used and can find further application both in scientific and commercial purposes:

  • In projects related to the establishment of acceptable levels and forms of anthropogenic impact on natural and anthropogenic modified ecosystems, in particular:
    1. 1. when conducting environmental assessments of projects related to industrial, commercial, agricultural and recreational development of natural complexes;
    2. 2. when conducting a comprehensive survey of natural complexes, with the aim of their further conservation or optimization of the ecological regime and the territory of currently existing protected areas, as well as the development of a regional ecological network as an element of the National Ecosystem;
  • For the organization of environmental monitoring of anthropogenic modified and protected natural complexes.
  • To predict the dynamics of ecosystems caused by natural geomorphological and hydrological processes and develop recommendations for their optimization.
  • To determine stocks of useful wild plant species, establish the most promising fishing areas, optimal harvest dates and volumes.
  • When compiling scientific and popular science publications devoted to the nature of the region.

Within the framework of the listed research and commercial areas, department staff can act as consultants (experts).
