Assessment of changes in the physical properties of plowed loamy soddy-podzolic soils in the nonchernozemic zone of European Russia under the impact of anthropogenic loads

The main physical characteristics of the plow layer of medium and heavy loamy soddy-podzolic soils were assessed. These soils were subdivided into the groups of degrading and improving soils. Permissible and critical values of the physical characteristics of the plow layer upon multiple anthropogenic impacts on it and the development of degradation processes were determined. A forecast of changes in the physical properties of the plow layer in soddy-podzolic soils upon their technogenic compaction was given.
