A Round Table on “Technogenically Disturbed Ecosystems: Soil-Botanical Aspects and Restoration Pathways” Was Held

On April 22, 2026, the Department of Botany and Agroecology held a round table on “Technogenically Disturbed Ecosystems: Soil-Botanical Aspects and Restoration Pathways.”

The event was conducted by Kulymbet K.K. – PhD, Senior Lecturer of the Department of Botany and Agroecology, and Tastanbekova A.A. – Lecturer of the Department of Botany and Agroecology.

During the round table, participants discussed the current state of technogenically disturbed ecosystems and the impact of anthropogenic and industrial factors on soil cover and plant communities. Special attention was given to the restoration of degraded areas, improvement of soil fertility, regeneration of vegetation cover, and conservation of biodiversity.

The participants emphasized the importance of soil-botanical studies in assessing disturbed lands and planning effective restoration measures. The discussion covered the analysis of soil physical and chemical properties, assessment of plant species composition, monitoring of natural recovery processes, and the application of reclamation approaches.

The event was organized in line with Sustainable Development Goal 15, which focuses on protecting, restoring, and promoting the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably managing forests, combating desertification, halting and reversing land degradation, and preventing biodiversity loss.

At the end of the round table, the participants noted that the restoration of technogenically disturbed ecosystems is one of the most relevant scientific and practical areas in modern ecology, soil science, botany, and agroecology. Such events contribute to improving environmental awareness, promoting the rational use of natural resources, and developing a culture of environmental protection.
