It revealed the cause of this negative appearance and developed a system of their diagnostics. It proposed recommendations on soil protection from degradation phenomena and destruction. It detailed the causes of the degradation of chernozems as a result from their waterlogging; examined the pyrogenic factors causing ignition of drained peat areas, compaction structural fertile alluvial soils in the valleys and degradation changes of many other soils as a result of anthropogenic transformation of their hydrological regime.

Keywords: degradation, water regime, waterlogging of soils, fires peat lands, compaction of structural soils of floodplains.

Possible conservation measures of water biological resources

P.A. Balykin, the Southern Scientific Centre, the Russian Academy of Science, Rostov-on-Don

There are discussed the modern condition of water biological resources of the Russian seas. The mechanisms of TAC allocation have been used as instruments to limit fishing impacts on commercial stocks. As the basic measure of regulation it is offered restriction of terms of fishery. It is offered to establish terms of a different fishery annually. The list of the necessary information and calculations are developed. It is expected, that the described approach will allow Illegal fishery and discard of fishes to reduce.

Кеуwords: water biological resources, rules of management by fishery, restriction of terms of fishery.
