ОЦІНКА АГРЕГОВАНОГО ПОКАЗНИКА СТАНУ ҐРУНТОВОГО ПОКРИВУ БАСЕЙНУ РІЧКИ ЗГАР

Abstract

The study presents an assessment of the aggregated indicator of the soil cover condition within the protected areas of the Zgar River basin. The research integrates physico-chemical, hygienic, and biological parameters using a score-based evaluation method. Exceedances of maximum permissible concentrations of heavy metals were identified in riparian zones, particularly near agricultural lands. The aggregated index values indicate a predominantly satisfactory or unsatisfactory state of the soils. The obtained results have practical significance for planning soil protection measures
