HUMAN INFLUENCE ON MIDDLE ZARAFSHAN OASIS. CHANGE OF NATURAL LANDSCAPES, DEVELOPMENT OF GEOGRAPHICAL PROCESSES AND MEASURES TO FIGHT AGAINST THEM

Abstract

It is known that the Zarafshan region has been one of the agricultural, horticultural and viticultural regions of Central Asia since ancient times. These lands have favorable natural conditions for the development of agriculture, animal husbandry, horticulture and other fields. But here you can find many areas of natural landscapes that have changed as a result of human influence. In particular, anthropogenic influence from natural-geographical processes, erosion and floods occurring in mountain and sub-mountain regions complicate the nature of these lands and have a negative impact on the economy. Preventing and combating such incidents is of great importance in the protection of nature and the use of land resources in the economy. It is important to study the landscapes that have changed as a result of human influence, as well as to study the development of natural geographical processes.
