Abstract

The article identifies the impact of anthropogenic factors on the example of Ahangaran and Bustonlik district of Tashkent region of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the mountain and foothill areas and in the desert pastures of Takhtakopir district of the Republic of Karakalpakstan. For example, when analyzing the area of desert pastures in Takhtakopir district of the Republic of Karakalpakstan in different massifs, degraded areas of 0.3%, 0.9%, 5.9% and even 8.2%, were identified, depending on human conditions. In Ahangaron and Bustonlik district of Tashkent region, the total area of pastures is 84,725 hectares, which 18,115 hectares (21%) of total area are degraded to varying degrees.

The authors provide a number of scientific and practical suggestions and recommendations for the improvement, restoration and efficient use of pastures.
