Article structure. The structure of the original articles should follow the format: introduction that reflects the state of the issue at the time of writing; goals and objectives of this study; materials and methods; results and their discussion; conclusion.
Section titles are provided: MATERIALS AND METHODS, RESULTS AND DISCUSSION, CONCLUSION, ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, LIST OF LITERATURE, REFERENCES (capital letters, center alignment, semi-bold font).
Technical requirements:
Decimal separator is a dot in the text as in tables, figures and other applications.
If symbols such as ×, μ, η, or ν are used, they should be added using the symbols menu of Word in Times New Roman font. Degree symbols (°) must be used from the symbol menu, not superscripted letter o or number 0. Multiplication symbols must be used (×), not the letter x. Spaces must be inserted between numbers and units (e.g., 3 kg) and between numbers and mathematical symbols (+, –, ×, =, <, >), but not between numbers and percent symbols (e.g., 45%). Please use SI units. All abbreviations and acronyms should be defined at first mention. Any Latin terms such as et al., in vitro, or in situ should not be italicized.
Latin names of genera and species are given in italics.
Citation: surnames are indicated in parentheses in the text reference (Petrov, 1998). The listing of a number of authors, references are given by seniority (by years) and separated by a semicolon (Ivanov, 2010; Kuznetsov et al., 2016; Pizl et al., 2017). References to the works of one author of different years are separated by a comma (Kuznetsov, 1988, 1999, 2017). The works of one author of the same year are quoted with the use of letter characters (a, b, c, etc.) after a year (Markov, 1963a, 1963b, 1963c). In case of an e-link, the initial word (words) of the source name should be indicated with replacement of the remaining part of the name by ellipses and the indication of the year of the data entry or updating (Catalog …, 2006.).
Illustrative materials are presented in .tif or .jpg formats (at least 300 dpi) for photos, figures. Both black and white and color drawings are accepted. The illustrations should be placed in the text and also attached as separate files.
All illustrations (photographs, charts, diagrams, graphs, etc.) in the text should be referred to as figures. All figures in the text should be provided with references (Fig. 1). The figures should be located immediately after the first mention in the text. The name should be provided directly below the figure with the dot not to be put after the name; centered. Notes to figures should be placed after the figure itself using the single spacing.
Figure name and note sample:
Figure 1. Organic Matter Content in Main Soil Types
Notes: *- 0.05 p-level variables.
The figure text is provided as a separate list at the end of the article and should contain an exhaustive comment to the figure. If the figure consists of several parts (for example, a, b, c), they should have a common title and separate explanatory notes for each part.
Tables. The number and name of the table should be placed directly above the table in one line (the numbering is required upon the presence of several tables; the number is not indicated upon the presence of one table). No dotting after the name with the right alignment.
Table naming sample:
Table 1. Carbon content in soil horizons
The tables are placed both in the text and should be attached as separate files. References to the tables should be given in the text of the article (example: Tab. 1). Empty columns are not allowed. Conditional abbreviations and symbols should be explained in a note. The table notes should be placed after the table itself with the single spacing.
