Andrusevych K. Zoological diagnostics ekomorphical basics of tehnozems (for example, reclaimed landscapes Nakopol manganese ore basin).

The object is soil macrofauna of tehnozems at the Nikopol manganese ore basin.The aim is to give the soil-zoological diagnostics of plant meliorated rocks on the basis of ecomorphical analysis of soil macrofauna. The methods are the soil ecomorphical and manual analysis of soil samples, manual sampling, geobotanic, statistics. As a result of research communities of soil macrofauna four options tehnogenous substrata has been showed high information content and usability of soil invertebrates to diagnose soil. High productivity application has been noted ecomorphical analysis to characterize the soil conditions, which has been formed in plant meliorated rocks. Differentiating ability ecomorphical structure of the animal population is the basis for tehnozems determinant key for zoological diagnostic types tehnozems. Based on ecomorphical community structures of animal population in different plant meliorated rocks types have been highlighted factor features that allow to separate different tehnogenous substrata types.This analysis has been leaded to zoological diagnosis of the tehnogenous substrata at the Nikopol manganese ore basin on the based on ecomorphical mezopedobionts structure. Application spheres are conservation activities and training courses.
