Use of natural and production valorization concept on an example of river Ochoża valley

The research presents the attempt of natural and production valorization of melioration object Ochoża. It is aimed to evaluate the anthropogenic transformation effects and current swamp habitat. At current valorization, these habitats were considered as corrected taking into account the soil process, soil formation and humidity level. There are soil types: peat-mursh, mineral-mursh, gley and chernozems. Potential valorization results were based on an idea of prognostic humidity-soil complexes. Phytosociological records serving for natural valorization were made within valley bottom. Evaluation of habitat’s current agricultural value for peat-mursh soil corresponds to III bonitation class. There are soil-ecological units classified to V bonitation class with very low efficiency and performance value of the sward on the other part of the object. Area of river Ochoża is of moderate natural value, which results from the simplification and generalization of valorization procedure as well as management of part of valley bottom and long-term soil drying. ...
