Soils of the Caspian sea northern coast and their degradation

The purpose of the research was to comprehensively assess the current state of the soil  cover of the coastal zone of the Caspian Sea; identification of soil degradation processes. The  objects of research are the soils and soil cover of the part of the northern coast of the Caspian Sea,  adjacent to the modern delta of the Ural River. The transformation of the soils of the territory is  due not only to the increased anthropogenic impact, but also to the change in soil formation  factors associated with the decrease in the level of the Caspian Sea in recent years. To assess the  degree of study of the characterized territory, the selection and analysis of materials from soil  studies was carried out. Based on the results of soil studies on the territory of the site, 26 soil  taxonomic units up to and including varieties were identified. The degree of soil degradation was  assessed. On the basis of the materials obtained, a soil map and a map of soil degradation of the  northern coast of the Caspian Sea were created.
