Novikov A.A.
The purpose of the paper presented is to determine tendency and intensity for quantitative and qualitative changes in humus and nitrogen status of chernozems. The system approach to study natural objects is assumed as the basis for research methodology of humus and nitrogen status of soils.
It is established that the depth typical values of chernozem humus horizons in the North Caucasus are 120-180 cm for South European facies of leached chernozems, 100-170 cm for modal chernozems, 70-160 cm for common chernozems, 70-120 cm for southern chernozems; for East European facies of southern chernozems the value is 55-70 cm. A distinctive ecological feature of the soils is thought to be a low humus content in the arable layer, its deep distribution along the profile and slight variability among each subtype.
Nitrogen quantity in chernozems of the region variates within a comparatively wide range: 0.20-0.35% in South European facies of leached, modal and common chernozems, 0.22-0.30% in East European facies of southern chernozems. Southern chernozems of South European facies contain least of all nitrogen, i.e., 0.18-0.22%. Total nitrogen composition is mainly presented by non-hydrolysable facies, making 74.2-78.9%.
The research materials are intended to design farming systems on the landscape basis for specialists dealing with the issues of soil preservation, increasing soil fertility as well as environment protection. The results of the research may contribute to making a purposeful impact on decision making to control humus and nitrogen status of soils, thus serving as the basis for preservation of bioecological potential of chernozems.

Introduction
V.V Dokuchaev, a prominent soil analyst and natural scientist, repeatedly noted that chernozem is the basis of Russia's wealth and prosperity. However, for a long period of time, we have, especially recently, been facing a number
of significant problems concerning chernozems fertility, namely, progressive degradation of the soil, dehumification, loss of organic and readily available mineral forms of nitrogen, which have resulted in development of other negative processes and are mainly responsible for the current decline in productivity and sustainability of the agroecosystem.
It is the ecological problem of fertility preservation along with its main indicators, i.e., humus and nitrogen in the chernozems of the North Caucasus, being among the most fertile soils both in Russia and all over the globe, that is becoming increasingly urgent. Thus, both generalization and monitoring the humus and nitrogen status of the chernozems in the region are required.
Purpose
To establish the direction and intensity of both quantitative and qualitative changes in the humus and nitrogen status of the chernozems of the North Caucasus.
Study data and methodology
The methodology of the research concerning the humus and nitrogen status of soils is based on a systematic approach to the study of objects of nature that points out the necessity not to isolate an object or phenomenon, but to consider it in its interrelation and interdependence with the surrounding systems and processes.
The following components constitute the basis of the methodology for studying the humus and nitrogen status of chernozems that determine the level of soil fertility, its bioenergy potential, sustainable ecological functioning of the agroecosystem, as well as land protection:
- integrated approach to biological objects, i.e., soil derivatives and abiotic environment;
- profile-genetic and comparative-geographical assessment of soil status;
- taking into account spatial and temporal variability of soil properties;
- consistency of author's research methods.
The research activities were carried out as the fieldwork on common and southern chernozems at the three stations of the Don Zonal Research Institute of Agriculture. Soil crossovers were made at the stations and allocated lots to be used to take soil samples according to GOST (All-Union State Standard) 28168-89. Following "The general sampling procedure requirements" (GOST 29269-91), the samples were used to determine common humus (GOST 2621391), total nitrogen (GOST 26107-84), as well as fraction-group composition of humus using the method by I.V. Tyurin as modified by VV Ponomaryova and
T.A. Plotnikova. The mathematic treatment of the findings was carried out using a technique developed by B.A. Dospekhov.
Results of the study and their discussion
Organic matter performs an enormous number of functions. It serves as a direct source of nutrients for plants, affects nutrients accessibility and behavior, regulates soil structure formation, its hydrophysical properties, thermal parameters, redox and ion exchange reactions [1, 2].
Considering the environmental aspect, it is especially important that humus substances are characterized by their high absorption capacity, thus (as well as other colloid substances) contributing to one of the most remarkable properties of the soil, i.e., its buffering capacity, the ability to withstand the harmful effects of acidic and alkaline solutions [3].
Soil, once it is enriched with organic matter, becomes more resistant to contamination due to a high content of various functional groups in humic acids, including carboxyl, amine, phenolic, hydroxyl groups, involved in the formation of simple and complex organo-mineral compounds [4].
Organic matter is characterized by having general significance for the globe as it constitutes "humosphere" which is thought to be the most important natural storage of energy, being essential to help plants obtain mineral nutrition elements out of inaccessible forms, i.e., nitrogen out of air, ash constituents out of minerals of soil-forming materials [5].
At present, bioenergetics issues are becoming increasingly relevant, which is due to both general environmental problems and specific practical tasks of preserving and improving soil fertility and productivity of crops [6, 7].
Sources of soil organic matter and energy it contains are the remains of plants, animals, microorganisms and their products that are subjected to complex, sometimes opposite, transformations [8, 9, 10, 11].
During the decomposition process of organic substances in the soil, processes of mineralization and the so-called "aging" of both newly formed humus substances and previously accumulated ones are observed. As a result of mineralization of the "destructive" (i.e. annually decomposing) humus, as well as decomposition of decaying plans and other organic compounds, a certain amount of substances enters the soil. Their level depends not only and not so much on the total amount of humus as on the amount of the humus part and total organic matter that dissolve.
New portions of humification products enter into exchange reactions with the already existing humic acids, as well as with the exchangeable and non-ex-
changeable occluded mineral part of the soil, participate in the completion and fragmentation of the renewed humus substances, perform the protective function of the "old" humus as it were. Along with plant and animal remains, soil receives energy fixed by photosynthesis [12].
It is the loss of the main property of natural soils, i.e. the rhythm of destruction of a part of humus and formation of a new part within the same year, that is the main ecological criterion for the deterioration of the humus status of plowed soils.
According to G. Reuter, the loss of humus in soils as a result of long-term use amounts to 13-25% of the original content [13]. In Canada, the humus content in the arable land has decreased by an average of 45% within the past 50 years, including chernozems by 48.2%; in soils of the south of the USA the humus content has decreased to 60%.
Over the last 70-80 years, the loss of humus in the arable soils of the USSR amounted to 40-50%, different subtypes of chernozems annually lost 0.5-1.8 tons per hectare [14, 15].
Most studies of the humus status of the North Caucasus chernozems were carried out in the areas of the warm Southern European facies, while the others were conducted in the areas of the warm-temperate Eastern European facies.
The study of the humus status of soils of the Southern Russia showed that its formation was determined by a complex of natural historical prerequisites, the most important being rank motley grass and fescue-feather grass vegetation with well-developed root system. The remains of the latter were humified for a long time in warm and warm-temperate climate.
It was established that the greatest thickness of the humus horizon characterizes chernozems of the leached Southern European facies, reaching 180 cm. Lesser A+B thickness of 100-170 cm characterizes modal chernozems, common chernozems have even lesser value of 70-160 cm, while southern chernozems are characterized by the value of 70-120 cm thickness of the humus horizon. The least thickness was found in the South Eastern European facies, being 55-70 cm [16, 17].
The typical values of humus of each subtype varies within a just small range. A somewhat larger content of organic matter is characteristic of modal chernozems.
According to the average content of humus and typical values fluctuations modal chernozems are characterized as being low-humic. The scarcely-humic variants of these chernozems are rare, being determined by the lowest values lying beyond the scale of typicality. The extensive area of common and leached
chernozems of the South European facies is less homogeneous in terms of the humus accumulation intensity.
The southern chernozems of the Southern European and East European facies are mainly low-humic, being considerably different from other soils in the region. The coefficient of variation amounts to 10-28%.
The study of the humus content and its fraction-group composition that we carried out in the common chernozems of the South European facies at the Don Zonal Research Institute of Agriculture as well as southern chernozems of the East European facies at the Severo-Donetsk experimental station showed that common chernozems are characterized by having a considerable thickness of the humus horizon (84 cm) compared to southern chernozems (62 cm) [18, 19]. Higher value of carbon content and less sharp decrease along the soil profile was also found in common chernozem.
The carbon percentage in the arable horizon of common chernozems amounted to 2.38, while in southern chernozem the value was 2.19; the one in BC horizon was 0.91 and 0.80; in C it was 0.53 and 0.32. The amount of humic acid groups in these chernozem subtypes, being equal to Aarable 0.98 and 0.94%, shows a considerable decrease to 0.09 and 0.05% in C horizon. The groups of fulvic acids in the Aarable common and southern chernozems were also approximately equal, i.e. 0.48 and 0.46%, whereas the amount decreased in the lower horizons of the southern chernozem.
The humus type of Aarable chernozem horizon was found as being humate-ful-vic: Rha : Rfa = 2.0. The degree of humification, estimated as the proportion of humic acids in the total amount of carbon, being equal to 41-43%, indicates a "high" conversion degree of organic substances into humic compounds.
As the ratio Rha : Rfa in the lower horizons narrowed, humus in BC as well as C horizons acquired properties of the humate-fulvic type.
In the arable horizons of both subtypes of chernozems, the main amount of humic acids is attributed to fraction 2 bonded with calcium in complex forms of compounds, being 0.72-0.69%, whereas southern non-carbonate chernozems are characterized by a slightly lower value. The content value of this fraction in (A+B) humus horizon was 0.57 and 0.47%, in C horizon - 0.04-0.02. The absolute value of fraction 3, bonded with clay minerals and stable sesqui-oxides, was 0.21 0.20% in Aarable of the profile of these soils, while decreasing to 0.05-0.03 in C horizon. ^ e
The content of free humic acids and humic acids bound with movable sesqui-oxides of fraction 1 in the arable horizon of common and southern chernozems is quite small (0.05%), being even lower along the soil profile, in particular, in B2
horizon - 0.01; and the fraction was not found at all in C horizon, which determines the low formation rate of humus substances in the soil profile.
The fulvic part of humus is characterized by approximately similar amount of fraction 2 and 3 fulvic acids in A , i.e., 0.21-0.18 and 0.20-0.17%, bond-
arable' ' '
ed in a complex polymer compound with the corresponding fractions of humic acids. In the lower layers, the percentage of these fractions drops to 0.03-0.06% in C horizon, the drop being especially significant in southern chernozems.
The content of fraction 1 , i.e. free humic acids and humic acids bound with movable sesquioxides, as well as fraction 1 is insignificant, amounting to 0.05-0.04% in A ,,, 0.01 in C horizon, which indicates the stability of the
arable' ' J
chernozems organic matter. The amount of insoluble residue in Aarable and Kx common chernozem horizons is 0.92-0.80 absolute percent, decreasing to 0.31 in C horizon; concerning southern chernozems the values are 0.79-0.62 and 0.20%, respectively. The relative groups and fractions content values while a part of carbon compositions correspond to their percentage in soils, being characteristic of these subtypes of chernozems.
The proportion of humic acids in the total amount of carbon in the upper horizon is slightly lower in common chernozems (41%) compared to southern chernozems (43%), in the humus horizon it amounts to 38.2 and 37.5% respectively, while in C horizon the proportion is 17-15.6%.
The relative content of the fulvic acids group amounts to 20.2-21.0% in A ,,, 20.8 and 22.2% in the humus horizon, i.e. the content value is somewhat
arable
larger in southern chernozems, whereas in C horizon, on the contrary, the value is slightly less in southern chernozems (22%) compared to common chernozems (24.5%), which indicates a large migratory capacity of fulvic acids in this type of chernozem.
As a part of their humic acids in (A + B) humus horizon, southern chernozems contain 68.3% of fraction 2, whereas common chernozems contain 73% of fraction 2. The proportion of other fractions, especially fraction 1, is relatively small.
Concerning the fulvic part, the relative content of fractions 2 and 3 in Aaiable is the same in both subtypes, namely, 8.8-7.6 and 9.1-7.8%, their amount increasing along the profile in common chernozems, especially in BC horizon (fraction 2) and C horizon (fraction 3). The same phenomenon can be observed in southern chernozems, except for BC horizon, which contains less fraction 2 compared to A ...
arable
The relative percentage of fraction 1a and fraction 1 is low. No significant changes in the content of these fractions along the profile of common cher-
nozems were observed, their amount increasing in southern chernozems, for example, the one of fraction 1increased from 1.8% in A ,, to 3.1 in C.
r 7 arable
The percentage of insoluble residue, amounting to 38.6% in Aarable of common chernozems, increases to 58.5% in C horizon, from 36.1% in A ,, to
arable
62.5% in C horizon, which proves the lesser mobility degree of the organic matter of this type of chernozem [20].
Nitrogen is the biogenic element, its transformation being entirely determined by the processes of humus formation and mineralization, as well as the biochemical activity of the soil. This clearly affects the nature of nitrogen compounds of the soil, that mainly consists of organic forms (93-97%), most of them being a part of humus [21, 22, 23].
Formation of the nitrogen bulk of the main subtypes of the chernozems in the South of Russia is determined by a complex of soil formation conditions, the main components being a deeply penetrating vegetation root system and favorable climatic conditions.
Typical values of the total nitrogen content in the arable horizon of leached chernozems are 0.20-0.35%. Common chernozems, as well as modal and southern of Eastern European facies are characterized by somewhat narrower fluctuations ranges of these values. In southern chernozems of the Southern European facies, when compared to other soils, the nitrogen content proves to be lower, while its fluctuations range is also narrower, the variation coefficient being 18-26% [24].
Specific data on particular soil crossovers of the North Caucasus show their regional specific features and differences from chernozems in the European part of Russia, i.e., a relatively low content of both nitrogen and humus in the arable layer, as well as its deep and gradual decrease along the genetic horizons.
Both leached and modal chernozems of Krasnodar Krai contain approximately the same amount of total nitrogen, i.e., in 0.23-0.21% in Aarable, 0.140.13% in ABj horizon at a depth of 75-80 cm, 0.09% in Bj horizon at a depth 125-130 cm. In common chernozem crossovers, the amount of nitrogen in the soil layer 0-10 cm is slightly larger than in leached and modal chernozems, being 0.28%. The decrease of nitrogen down along the soil profile is proportional, but its distribution is deeper in comparison to leached chernozems; thus, the nitrogen content in the layer of 70-80 cm was 0.18%, 120-130 cm - 0.13%, 150-160 cm - 0.08%.
Modal chernozems of Stavropol Krai are characterized by the same values of total nitrogen content in the upper horizon, just as leached and modal cher-
nozems of the region do. Down along the soil profile, the amount of nitrogen also gradually decreased, being 0.13% in ABj horizon at a depth of 80-90 cm. In common chernozems, within the layer of 0-20 cm there is more nitrogen than in modal chernozems, though its distribution along the soil layers is the same.
The amount of nitrogen in the arable layer of common and southern chernozems of Rostov Oblast was found as being 0.25-0.24% and 0.12-0.08% in BC horizon.
The analysis of particular crossovers fractional composition of the North Caucasus region chernozems showed that leached chernozems of the Southern European facies of Krasnodar Krai that contain 0.149% total nitrogen in Aaiable were characterized as having mere 7 mg mineral forms (N-NH4 ++ N-NO3-) per 100 g of soil, i.e., just 0.4% of total content. The share of more accessible organic forms as represented by easily hydrolysable fraction (amines, a certain part of the amides) was 16.1 mg per 100 g of soil, i.e., 8.3% of Ntotal.
It was found that there is twice as much hardly hydrolysable form of nitrogen, being a secondary reserve for plants nutrition, than easily hydrolysable in both absolute and relative values. The major part of nitrogen (145.3 mg per 100 g, i.e., 74.9% of Ntotal) is represented by a non-hydrolysable fraction, which only slightly participates in the biological cycle.
As compared to Aarable, the amount of mineral nitrogen slightly increased in Aj horizon, whereas it dropped in Bj horizon to 0.5 mg per 100 g of soil and to 0.3 mg per 100 g of soil in B2 and C. Its share in the total nitrogen amount increased insignificantly in Aj horizon, whereas it decreased slightly in deeper horizons, having the same value, except for C horizon.
The amount of the easily hydrolysable nitrogen fraction in the lower part of the humus horizon (B2) was found as 5.5 mg per 100 g of soil and 2.3 in C horizon. The relative value of this form in the lower horizons also decreased, though less sharply than the absolute one.
The content of hardly hydrolysable and non-hydrolysable nitrogen in their absolute value, as well as easily hydrolysable nitrogen, decreased along the soil profile, but more gradually. The percentage of these fractions in Ntotal had an increasing tendency, except for hardly hydrolysable nitrogen in BC horizon, its share being the same as in Aaiable, and non-hydrolysable nitrogen in the upper part of Aj, its amount being somewhat less than in Aaiable.
In common chernozems of Stavropol Krai, the content of total nitrogen within the layer of 0-30 cm was 0.250% along with a low share of mineral nitrogen (4.2% of total) and easily hydrolysable nitrogen (7.1%), while the
content of hardly hydrolysable nitrogen (14.2%) and non-hydrolysable nitrogen (74.4%) was high.
The absolute amount of total, mineral, easily hydrolysable and hardly hy-drolysable nitrogen decreased in lower soil layers, except for mineral nitrogen in the layer of 30-40 cm that contains a bit more of this fraction compared to the layer of 0-30 cm. The amount of non-hydrolysable nitrogen decreased in its absolute value along the soil layers from 0-30 cm to 40-50 cm, while the relative value increased in layers of 30-40 cm and 40-50 cm.
The amount of total nitrogen in Aarable of chernozems obtained at the stations of the Don Zonal Research Institute of Agriculture was found as 0.250%, which is just the same as the one found for common chernozems of Stavropol Krai, whereas the amount of mineral nitrogen is less, being 2.4 mg per 100 g of soil. Along the soil profile, the amount of total nitrogen in C horizon drops to 0.080%, while the amount of mineral nitrogen decreases to 0.8 mg per 100 g of soil. The share of the mineral nitrogen fraction in Ntotal hardly varied along the horizons.
The fractions of easily hydrolysable, hardly hydrolysable and non-hydro-lysable nitrogen varied along the soil profile the same way as total and mineral nitrogen did. As a percentage of total nitrogen, the content of non-hydrolysable fractions increased, while the one of easily hydrolysable fraction decreased, the hardly hydrolysable fraction changing but a little.
Aarable of southern chernozems contained 0.220% of total nitrogen, 13.3 mg per 100 g of soil of easily hydrolysable nitrogen and 29.6 mg per 100 g of soil of hardly hydrolysable nitrogen, which is less than in common chernozem, while the share of mineral nitrogen was higher. The absolute and relative amounts of mineral nitrogen fraction along the soil layers increased, being more noticeable in Bj horizon compared to Ar
In deeper soil horizons, organic fractions underwent certain changes just the way they did in common chernozems, though their quantitative characteristics being more significant. Their share in Ntotal along the depth of the soil is approximately of the same value. The content of non-hydrolysable nitrogen, as well as other fractions, compared to common chernozems is lower in A
arable
(173.2 mg per 100 g of soil), higher in Bj (168.2 mg) and B2 (148.4 mg per 100 g of soil).
Conclusion
Thus, both common and southern chernozems, though having certain differences in the total carbon content in the arable layer, are characterized by roughly the same (absolute and relative) composition. The lower horizons con-
tain a greater absolute quantity of humic and fulvic acids of fractions 2 and 3 as well as insoluble residue in common chernozems compared to southern chernozems, which indicates a more intensive degree of both humus formation and humus compounds fixation.
A study of the nitrogen fractional composition of certain chernozems subtypes of the North Caucasus showed that its composition includes little mineral (0.4-4.2%) and easily hydrolysable (6.0-8.3%) fractions, though twice as much hardly hydrolysable fraction (13.4-16.4%). The major part of the nitrogen bulk (74.4-78.9%) is represented by a non-hydrolysable fraction, which only slightly participates in agricultural crops nutrition.
