Degradation Processes Development of the Coastal and Island Territories of the Valley of the Manych and the Don Delta in the Modern Conditions of Changing of Anthropogenic Activity

Abstract

Based on long-term studies of the Don delta and the Manych valley in the area of scientific expedition hospitals of the SSC RAS, the conditions that determine the current state and patterns of soil development in the region, as well as changes in the structure of soil cover under increasing anthropogenic load in the modern period are studied. The analysis of the development of degradation processes in modern land use conditions is presented. Five zones are identified according to the degree of development of degradation processes.
