Description
The article is concerned with the features of Lavandula’s angustifolia vegetative propagation with methods of the propagation by herbaceous cuttings and of the annual woody cutting. The dependence of Lavandula’s varieties Sineva and Vdala rooting of cutting and the cutting grafting period and the age of the mother plantation was established. In the fixed years, the rooting rate of cuttings is 58-67%. The maximum annual hardwood cuttings rooting was observed from the fifth to the seventh year of the cuttings’ workpiece (75-77%). The highest rooting rate of green cuttings belonging to Vdala sort (80%) is observed in the 3-4th years of use the mother plantation. The best result for rooting rate by the annual woody cutting showed Lavandula’s mother plantation, which belongs to Vdala sort and was being cultivated from 3rd to 6th year. The rooting of Lavandula’s angustifolia cuttings depends on weather conditions; during drought years the rooting of green cuttings is considerably reduced. During Lavandula’s rooting cuttings it is necessary to take into account the biological characteristics of each variety

Description
We investigated the basic soil types (brown, brown wood) of foothill zone of Dagestan. We revealed that the distribution of nickel, chromium and lead in the soils depends on several factors: soil-forming rock, physical clay, humus and pH. We defined the background content of heavy metals in the studied soils of the region

REGULARITIES OF THE SEASONAL DEVELOPMENT OF WOODY PLANTS AT INTRODUCTION IN ROSTOV-ON-DON
DescriptionThe article presents the average and optimal calendar dates of the main phenological phases exotic woody angiosperms in Rostov-on-Don. We assess the level of variability timing of individual phenological phases. The data obtained can be used to diagnose the prospects of exotic woody plants for the regional culture

OVERREGULATION OF OVERFLOWS OF PLAIN KRASNODAR TERRITORY
DescriptionSurface sewer depends on vegetable cover. Deleting the vegetable cover (due to cutting, overindulgent fall out live-stock, fires), wrong plowing up of surfaces (along declivity) and processing of ground without observance agronomic rules bring reinforcement of erosions, local soil washout, origin gully erosions and to increase the turbidities of the rivers

CHANGE OF BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF SOILS OF ROSTOV-ON-DON WITH HEAVY METAL POLLUTION
DescriptionThe article investigates the level of heavy metal con-tamination of soils of different functional zones in Rostov-on-Don: parklands, crossroads and industrial zone. Dependence is considered the level of soil bio-logical activity in soil from heavy metals

CHANGES IN BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF ORDINARY BLACK SOILS AT GLEYISATION (MODEL EXPERIMENT)
DescriptionThe article presents the results of laboratory modeling of gleyisation and its effect on the biological properties of soils with stagnant regime in ordinary black soils. Gleyisation is a complex biochemical process that occurs under oxygen reduction conditions. Anaerobic microorganisms, the presence of organic substances, and the constant or prolonged waterlogging of individual horizons or the entire soil profile promote gleyisation. Model experiments revealed that gleyisation increase the total number of bacteria and suppresses number of actinomycetes, micromycetes and growth of fungal mycelium. Gleyisation decreases the activity of oxidoreductases and increases the hydrolases activity. In addition, the second content of humus slightly increases and active acidity (pH) changes to neutral. Accumulation of large amounts of iron oxide (II) in soil is revealed

CHANGES IN BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF BROWN FOREST SOILS UNDER AGRICULTURAL USE
DescriptionAgricultural use leads to a significant transformation of soils. The first to use the soil for cultivation react most sensitive biological indicators. The purpose of the study - to establish the effect of using the brown forest soils for planting apple orchards for their biological activity, in particular on the humus content, enzyme activity (catalase and dehydrogenase). For the control, we have selected forest area adjacent to arable land. Because of violations of the natural vegetation, there are changes in hydrothermal conditions of the soil. Humidity soil plowed off under forest, while temperatures gets considerably higher. Plowing, compared with the control, revealed significant loss of humus (50%) in the upper most disturbed horizons. In the lower horizons of the values of this index were quite low (1.5%) on all sections of the test. The decline in humus content, as well as overheating and draining soil tillage results in a change of enzymatic activity not only in the surface layers, but also in the whole profile. Due to the movement of the most favorable hydrothermal conditions in the underlying horizons, an increase of enzyme activity over control values in the deeper layers of the soil. The article shows a possibility of the use of biological indicators as indicators of changes in the brown forest soils as a result of agricultural use

Description
Rendzina soils are very widespread in the Caucasus. Because of their ecological and genetic characteristics Rendzina has significant buffering capacity to chemical pollution. The object of investigation was calcareous leached soil. Location selection - Azishskaya ridge on the border of the Republic of Adygea and the Krasnodar region. As pollutants, we have selected Zn, Cd, Mo, Se, since soil contamination with these elements in the south of Russia is not uncommon. Contamination of zinc, cadmium, molybdenum and selenium causes deterioration in the biological properties of calcareous soils of the Western Caucasus. We have investigated the toxicity of the elements formed following series due to their influence on Rendzina soils: Zn> Se> Cd> = Mo. The study attempted to analyze the entire range of concentrations of the examined elements in the soil, currently occurring in nature. In most cases, all the investigated substances registered direct correlation between the concentration of the pollutant in the soil and the degree of reduction of biological indicators. The activity of catalase and dehydrogenase cellulolytic ability, plenty of bacteria of the genus Azotobacter, length of roots of radish can be used to monitor, diagnose and regulation of chemical pollution of soil Zn, Cd, Mo, Se
