DISTRIBUTION AND CAUSES OF SOIL DEGRADATION IN THE LENGEBIS RIDGE OF GREATER CAUCASUS
One of the main problems of rational use and reproduc- tion of natural resources of the Republic of Azerbaijan is the protection of soil cover. This approach is associated with an increasing rate of soil degradation from erosion and other exogenous and anthropogenic processes. A complete and rational use of land resources in mountain areas are always encountered with the soil degradation problem. To prevent erosion on such soils needs to or- ganize each agricultural territory, i.e. the distribution of agricultural land to the extent of erosion of soils, as well as a rational process, and their manure.
