Abstract

The article deals with the geographical spread of deflationary processes of soils of Volyn region and methods of dealing with them. Irreversible changes in the state of organic matter and organic soil colloids of drained peatlands is negative fact. As a result of freezing, high temperatures and drying they lose their ability to absorb moisture and swell.  Therefore topsoil and accumulated fines that are easy to deflation comminute. In this state, the soil has poor physical properties, poorly moisturizes, gatheres dust, and does not provide plants with moisture and nutrients. Thereby, the intensive agricultural use of drained peat soils causes their physical degradation and transformation in less fertile varieties.
