Abstract

The basis for food production is agriculture. Agricultural land use cover about 40% of the land surface and agrocenosis be regarded as the most modern land biome. Ecosystem services - these are the conditions and processes through which natural ecosystems and the species they are, and provide support life. The established four categories of ecosystem services: Support (Supporting services) - necessary for the performance of all other ecosystem services (soil formation, nutrient cycling, primary productivity); those for (Provisioning services) - products that can be obtained from ecosystems (food, water, and genetic resources); regulatory (Regulating services) - the regulation of climate, decomposition of pollutants, control of pests and diseases, pollination; Cultural (Cultural services) - intangible benefits that people receive from nature (recreation and ecotourism, education etc.). According to the EU Biodiversity Strategy (Goal 2, Action 5) ecosystems and ecosystem services of the member states of the European Union should be identified and marked Cartographically (The EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020). The economic value of ecosystem services should also be established and the integration of such assessments should be considered both at EU and at national level.

Our working hypothesis is that phytoindication  assessments of the  environmental regimes may be obtained from the study of plant communities formed on tehnosol may be markers of activity of ecosystem services. The aim of our work show the possibility of regulatory indicators for ecosystem services using man-made tehnosol by means of phytoindication estimates of the termoclimate, continentality, crioclimate and obmroclimate.

The field studies were conducted during the 2008-2017 biennium. Bioecological research station in the Dnieper agro-economic University (Pokrov city, Dnepropetrovsk region, Ukraine). Polygons incorporated within tehnosols four types: pedozem, sod-lithogenic soils on losses-like loam, gray-green clay and red-brown clay. Found that embriozems surface receives more solar radiation than the surface of the sod-lithogenic soil surface and the last gets more heat than pedozems. More dense vegetation that is able to develop more fertile soil, creates a distinct effect shielding. During soil forming processes phytoindicator evaluation of the radiation balance are falling and asymptotically approaching to a stationary level. Ombroclimate of the embriozems can be described as such, contributes with mezoarydophytes and ombroclimate of the  sod lithogenic soils and pedozems promotes subarydophytes. Stabilization of the ombroclimate condition is stable operation of man-made soil ecosystem. Obtained evidence that during soil forming processes the estimates of the continentality indicate decrease contrast micro-climatic conditions. For groups of vegetation, which are formed on different technosol types mounted simultaneous dynamics of continental character.
