Studies of the Possibilities of Determining the Degree of Erosion of Soils in Azerbaijan
Journal Title: Current Investigations in Agriculture and Current Research - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The article examines the issues of the possibility of studying the areas of development by soil erosion and its control. The study proved that the development of soil erosion is based on the forming impact of natural and anthropogenic factors. The degree of potential danger and the possibility of prevention, taking into account the preservation of the environmental situation in the foothills of the Upper Shirvan in the example of the Shemakha district of the Republic of Azerbaijan, were studied. The main objectives of the study here was to determine the amount and degree of development of eroded and erosive dangerous soils of the foothill zones, carried out based on soil erosion surveys of the farms of the republic (Figure 1) According to the soil and climatic conditions of the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan, it is divided into 10 economic zones-Absheron, Ganja-Kazakh, Kuba-Khachmaz, Sheki- Zagatala, Lenkoran, Aran, Upper Garabagh, Kelbajar-Lachin, Shirvan Mountain, Nakhichevan. These zones differ from each other not only in terms of geographical location and soil and climatic conditions, but also in terms of natural resources. It is known that from 11 basic climate type globe, in the Republic of them meets 9: a) dry subtropical, b) moist subtropical, c) semi-moist subtropical, d) dry continental, e) moderately warm, moist, f) moderately warm dry, g) moderately cold, h) cold, i) mountain tundra [1-3]. The territory of Azerbaijan is under the ecological impact of the catchment valley of the Caspian Sea. Here, environmental problems, the solution of which are regional and depend on interstate relations, and for this reason, day after day they become strained. It must be said that the country's soil is subject to erosion, forest plantations, mountain groves, water sources and other natural formations are failing. Geologically and geographically, the research region has a rather complex structure, where high mountains and steep slopes alternate with foothills and plains, which in turn contributes to the development of a fairly variegated climate, that is, to a variety of vegetation cover [2,3].
