Anthropogenic transformation and natural potential of landscapes of Apanasenkovsky district

Abstract

The article analyzes the current state and the degree of anthropogenic transformation of landscapes on the basis of the on modern method. In scientific research, the developed complex methodology for determining the dependence of anthropogenic transformation on the natural potential of landscapes was used. The land-uses analyzed in the case of landscapes of the Apanasenkovsky district of the Stavropol Territory, the anthropogenic load assessment completed, the dynamics of the change in the area of anthropogenically transformed lands is analyzed and changes in the state of natural complexes in landscapes are revealed. The assessment of the natural potential of the landscapes of the region will allow solving the tasks of increasing the productivity and eficiency of agriculture in the study area. The obtained results will allow to correct the land-use planning methods. The obtained results should be used for sustainable, balanced development of natural-anthropogenic geosystems that ensure the existence of nature and society in a state of equilibrium, which will allow for the equal consideration of ecological, economic and social criteria and the formation of an optimally balanced agricultural landscape with speciied parameters of functioning.
