Abstract

In the paper the territories of the east periphery of the Southern Cis-Urals are considered. The agricultural lands are investigated in detail in the studied area. On the basis of cartographical and space image data, taking place at different periods from 1839 to 2016, the analysis of the changes of agricultural lands is made. The dynamics of the development of natural and anthropogenic complexes is considered. The agriculture flourished in the territory of the Southern Cis-Urals under the Soviet Power. At this time there was a population shift in the studied territories, there were new settlements and large agricultural enterprises there. The most part of lands has been cleared of the woods and used for farmlands. The activities for studying soils and amelioration of their quality were held. In the 1990s the system of agriculture has been broken up. Collective farms have stopped their existence; allotments have ceased to be cultivated. Now the weeds, bushes and underwood grow on the large areas of valuable lands, the lands on the slopes of the foothills are exposed to superficial washout and degradation. In this regard, the restoration of the quality of lands in the studied territory and their involvement in agricultural production require immediate carrying out land management activities.

Keywords

degradation of soils, suffosion, plane washout, erosion, weeds.
