Abstract. The article discusses the results of studies of a long post-reclamation period of
meadow salt marshes of the piedmont plain of the Ili Alatau. Based on the use of balance and sta-
tistical methods of analysis and control of research and forecasts, the features of the formation of
water-salt and nutritional regimes of reclaimed soils have been studied, relationships have been
developed between individual amelioration indicators and factors influencing the formation of
reclamation regimes of soils. Scientifically grounded assessments of the
ecological efficiency of
agromeliorative measures for soil formation processes are given.At present, it is advisable to en-
sure the conduct of continuous engineering and reclamation monitoring, i.e. a system of regular
observations, assessments and forecasts of the ecological state of reclaimed lands, which ensure
optimal reclamation regimes and protection of the natural environment.
Key words: saline soils, humus, fertility of reclaimed soils, complex reclamation, ecology,
level of ecological sustainability, fertility models.
INTRODUCTION
Ecological functions of soils are de-
termined by their natural (natural fertili-
ty), that is, the presence of humus reserves,
since humus
is the basis of all water-
physical and physico-chemical properties
of soils, making the soil a powerful biologi-
cal barrier that regulates the relationship
between biological and geological cycles
and the amount of runoff from the catch-
ment area. Over the past 40 years, the con-
tent of humus in the soils of Kazakhstan
has decreased by 25-30 %, while the total
damage is estimated at $ 2.5 billion. In this
regard, a dynamic
assessment of the hu-
mus state of reclaimed soils that are eco-
logically unstable due to the constant influ-
ence of natural and anthropogenic influ-
ences is relevant.
Throughout the history of the soil
science development, saline soils have
been one of the main objects of research in
many countries of the world. Firstly, this is
due to the wide
spread of saline soils in
different regions of the Earth; secondly,
due to the fact that salinity is one of the
main genetic properties and meliorative
features of soils in arid and semiarid re-
gions and also a property that limits their
fertility. Finally, thirdly, salinity is one of
the main signs of the unfavorable ecologi-
cal condition of the soils.
Saline soils are distributed on all
continents; they are found in 100 countries
of the world and practically in all natural
zones, but dominate in the steppes, semi-
deserts and deserts.
At the same time, in
various regions saline soils differ signifi-
cantly in their properties, genesis and, con-
sequently, in melioration methods, which
causes differences in their development,
rational use and salinity control [1].
Secondary salinization of irrigated
lands brings enormous damage to agricul-
ture. The main reason for this harmful phe-
nomenon is the lack of an engineering col-
lector-drainage
network in conditions of
weak natural groundwater outflow, which
lead to secondary soil salinization and de-
terioration. Deterioration of the water-
salt and nutrient status of soil leads to
decrease in the productivity of irrigated
land and falling of a part of irrigated ara-
ble land out of agricultural [2-4]. Today,
despite the well-studied genesis of saline
soils
in the southeast of Kazakhstan, the
