Spatial variability of the electrical conductivity of the technosems and connection with plant community abundance
Abstract
The usage of the geostatistical approaches let to found that electrical conductivity of the technosems shows spatial variability which may be characterized as gradient spatial structure in sod lithogenic soil on the loess and on the pedosems and as spatial structure with some bumps in the sod lithogenic soil on the gray-green clays. The connection between electrical conductivity and plant cover density is strong. The connection between electrical conductivity and phytomass is less strong.References
