Monitoring of magnetic properties of soils has shown itself to be a sensitive and accessible diagnostic tool that allows not only to assess the general level of anthropogenic load on the agricultural landscape, but also to trace the spatial heterogeneity of the soil cover, in particular, caused by degradation processes associated with water erosion. The studies revealed some results of the analysis of magnetic properties as an indicator of the ecological state of soils on agricultural lands of Ukraine, taking into account the geographical, genetic and anthropogenic prerequisites for the formation of soil magnetism. The main indicator studied is the specific magnetic susceptibility (χ), which was determined in soil samples in an air-dry state using the KLY-2 magnetic meter, which provides high accuracy in determining even low levels of magnetic susceptibility of soils of natural ecosystems. It was found that the spatial patterns of the distribution of χ reflect both the geochemical features of landscapes and the specifics of modern land use. The ranges of variations of specific magnetic susceptibility values for the most common types of soils of the Left-Bank part of the Polissya, Forest-Steppe and Steppe zones of Ukraine are given based on experimental data obtained in these studies. It is shown that the relationship of specific magnetic susceptibility with slope processes, caused by regular changes in the content of soil organic carbon, remains stable in time. In addition, the possibility of using statistical characteristics of the spatial distribution of magnetic susceptibility values as an indicator of the complexity and heterogeneity (complexity) of the soil cover structure is demonstrated. The features of the manifestation of the sensitivity of magnetic characteristics to the influence of some natural and anthropogenic factors are described.
