Abstract:
The paper considers formation mechanisms of material and energy flows as well as trophic relations in agroecosystems in response to climate change. Based on the research of separate crop rotations in typical farms, the authors found the regularity of commodity crops timing to field crop rotations (on sections of watersheds), and fodder - to slopes as part of special crop rotations. In the course of the research, the authors developed a method assessing the rational use of natural resources of the territory for fodder production, created maps "Correlation between energy flows of producers and consumers", "Formation of energy flows in agro-ecosystems" and "Deformation of energy relations in agro-ecosystems". The results prove that formation of artificially supported agrophyto- and zoocenoses directly affects the spatial structure of agro-landscapes. The article explores general strategy of rational agrolandscapes’ formation in the conditions of climate change, substantiating the list o
f forage plants adapted to arid climates.
