Abstract

Based on the analysis and generalization of the data of domestic and foreign scientists and specialists, as well as the results of the authors' respective research, an assessment of the current state of changes in weather and climatic conditions in the Polesie zone and their impact on agricultural production, fertility, and moisture supply of soil; the conditions of functioning of water management and reclamation facilities, the natural and reclamation state of the drained lands was also given. The general recommendations for the development of adaptive organizational and economic, operational, agrotechnical, construction, and project activities that have their own clear goals and are closely interrelated were considered. On this basis, a complex of adaptive agromeliorative, agrotechnical and hydrotechnical, measures has been developed and proposed, aimed at a gradual transition to the cultivation of new varieties and types of agricultural crops, effective regulation of the water regime of drained lands and the functioning of drainage systems in variable climatic conditions.

Materials And Methods

The analysis and generalization of the content of the program international and national documents regarding the need and general recommendations for the development of adaptive measures related to climate change, the results of research and a general assessment of domestic and foreign scientists and specialists, as well as the results and our respective research were carried out. An assessment of the current state of changes in weather and climatic conditions, including in the Polesie zone, and their impact on the efficiency of agricultural production, fertility and moisture supply of soil, the conditions for the functioning of water management and reclamation facilities, the natural reclamation state of drained lands was given and general recommendations for the development of adaptive organizational and economic, operational and agrotechnical, construction and project activities that have their own clear goals and are closely interrelated were considered (Kolokytha et al., 2020; Rokochynskiy et al., 2019; Mazhaiskiy 2017).

The methods of our research on climate change, its impact on different aspects of agricultural production on drained lands in order to develop appropriate adaptation measures are based on the use of an appropriate set of predictive and simulation models, which includes a terrain climate model, a model of water regime and technologies for water regulation of drained lands, the model of development and formation of the yield of cultivated crops and are implemented on the basis of a long-term forecast. The basic methods of the general theory of experiment were also used: analytical, experimental and statistical; mathematical modeling and machine experiment using modern information and computer technologies. The processing of the results of field research and simulation data was carried out using the methods of mathematical statistics, probability theory and correlation analysis.
