Problems of the Desertification and Pasture Degradation in the Conditions of Azerbaijan
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Environmental and Soil Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Studies have been conducted in the arid zone of Azerbaijan (Gobustan), where wind erosion is characteristic, which, together with environmental pollution, contributes to the expansion of greenhouse gases and leads to the degradation of pastures. Characterized by the process of sowing perennial legume grasses, improving the nutritional regime of the soil, activating nitrification, microbiological processes and preventing soil erosion. The “greenhouse effect” is a natural phenomenon in which certain gases in the lower atmosphere prevent some of the heat energy radiated from the Earth from escaping. The human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases (CO2, methane, nitrous oxide, and some industrial gases) have over the last few centuries added to this effect, making global temperatures warmer than they would otherwise be and affecting global weather patterns. The hole in the ozone layer is a separate phenomenon, but there are a few linkages with the greenhouse effect. For example, some gases which deplete ozone in the upper atmosphere (CFCs) also act as greenhouse gases in the lower atmosphere, and the trapping of heat in the lower atmosphere by the greenhouse effect leads to a cooler upper atmosphere and a slower recovery time for the ozone layer. The environmental problem is one of the main challenges facing civilization today. The factors associated with the problem of ecology are directed in two aspects: natural, man-made. The wrong attitude of a person to nature creates environmental instability: natural is precipitation, evaporation, air temperature, soil, wind, water and wind erosion, slope of the surface and vegetation, forest, natural water resources. Anthropogenic factors unsystematic use of pastures, industrial drilling, destruction of forests, expansion of industrial enterprises, environmental pollution. Today, environmental pollution is a problematic issue for humanity. It is known that the composition of atmospheric air contains a certain amount of natural gases: i.e. the composition of atmospheric air is stable and unchanged on the surface of the planet. In other words, in nature, absorption and equivalent evolution of gases constantly occur, which, as a result of the exchange between atmospheric layers, levels off and as a result, the same ratio of atmospheric compounds remains: nitrogen 78.08%, oxygen 20.95%, argon 0.94%, carbon dioxide 0.03%. However, the current ecological situation on the planet, creating a greenhouse effect, violates the natural layer of the atmosphere, i.e. there is an increase in nitric oxide, methane, carbon dioxide.
