Geoecological analysis of natural-technogenic systems as an aspect of geoecosystem sustainability
This article presents a comprehensive geoecological analysis of the mechanisms of formation and dynamics of natural and man-made systems operating under intense anthropogenic pressure. Relevance. Global climate change and accelerated industrialization, which requires the addition of traditional environmental monitoring methods with predictive sustainability models. Ensuring an ecological balance is impossible without analyzing the resistance of geosystems. The modern paradigm of geoecology considers man-made systems as complex heterogeneous formations in which man-made transformation of the lithosphere and landscape becomes a key factor in their evolution. Aim. To carry out a comprehensive geoecological analysis of the mechanisms of formation and dynamics of man-made systems under the effect of intense anthropogenic pressure, to substantiate the need to use predictive models of sustainability in the face of global changes, and to identify the mechanisms of technogenesis affecting biogeochemical cycles and the hydrogeological regime of territories. Objects. Agroecosystems, urbanized territories, oil and gas sector enterprises, mining and processing plants and energy clusters. Methods. Statistical analysis to determine correlations between industrial load and the mechanisms of self-regulation of geoecosystems, risk assessment of geodynamic imbalance and soil degradation, as well as the predictive sustainability models. Special attention was paid to the analysis of the sustainability of agroecosystems located in the impact zones of mining and processing enterprises. In the context of the oil and gas industry and geology, the risks of geodynamic imbalance and soil degradation due to man-made interference in the structure of the subsurface are being investigated. The methodology includes a statistical apparatus that makes it possible to verify correlations between industrial stress and a decrease in the self-regulation potential of geoecosystems. Results. The authors substantiate that under the conditions of global climatic fluctuations and accelerated industrialization; traditional methods of environmental monitoring need to be supplemented with predictive sustainability models. It is also confirmed that the mechanisms of formation and dynamics of man-made systems are deterministic under the impact of anthropogenic factors, while technogenesis significantly affects the biogeochemical cycles and the hydrogeological regime of territories. The importance of using predictive models to improve the effectiveness of environmental monitoring is emphasized as one of the key elements of preserving the ecological balance of the planet. The article is aimed at specialists in the field of environmental safety, designers of industrial zones and developers of strategies for sustainable environmental management in the agricultural and energy sectors.
