Abstract
A set of data for eight soil varieties are considered using the spectrum of properties included into the program of fundamental research of genetic soil science. To expand our understanding of the essence of soil formation and soil nature, the sustainable land use principles, we studied the properties of autochonous moistening of soils developed on loess-like loams as a basis of diagnosis of their genesis and diversity. It is found that soils differ from soil-like bodies. Soil genesis is identified as a function of water conditions. The role of microbiota are established as a basis of rock conversion into soil. The models for chemical differentiation of profiles and bioenergy potential of soils are analyzed. The studies performed favor increasing the utilization efficiency of soils based on their genesis together with diagnosis of water conditions as a marker and informing soil maps providing the development of precision farming systems.
