Current state and ecology of the Syrdarya river delta landscapes
Keywords:
Syrdarya, delta landscapes, geocomplex,, anthropogenic,, natural landscape, transport landscapes,, terriconics, agrolandscapes,, quarry and embankment landsAbstract
This article analyses the current ecological state of the Syrdarya River delta landscapes, which have been
transformed as a result of the drying up of the Aral Sea. The work presents a description of the natural com
plexes of the region and the history of their economic development. The relevance of the research is justified,
its goals and objectives are formulated, and the theoretical and methodological foundations are defined.
Based on an analysis of the geological structure and relief of the terrain, a detailed assessment of the state of
the soil and vegetation cover is provided. The results of the study confirm that intensive anthropogenic pres
sure causes the transformation of landscape structures. The conclusion discusses promising ways to solve the
identified environmental problems.
