ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF EFFECTIVENESS OF DISTURBED LAND RECLAMATION IN UKRAINE.

The environmental and economic assessment of the effectiveness of land management projects for the reclamation of disturbed lands in Ukraine is a topical issue in the context of preserving ecological balance and restoring natural resources. This article is aimed at analysing the impact of land management projects on the ecological state of disturbed lands and their economic feasibility for Ukrainian society. Given the huge ploughing of the territory of Ukraine, especially its steppe and forest-steppe parts, attention should be paid to the use of reclaimed areas as a reserve that ensures the preservation of the gene pool of natural flora and fauna. Focusing on reclamation methods and their impact on the natural environment, the article examines the cost and efficiency of such projects in the context of restoring soil fertility, reducing soil and water pollution, and improving the quality of the natural environment. The results of the study will contribute to the formation of reclamation strategies that will be effective from both an ecological and an economic point of view for Ukraine, especially in the post-war period.
