Пыльные бури, как наиболее опасное метеорологическое явление, получили широкое распространение на равнинной территории Юга европейской части России. Их негативное воздействие проявляется в механическом разрушении почвенного покрова, обеднении почв, что влияет на кадастровую стоимость земли. Пыльные бури, отрицательно сказываясь на сельскохозяйственном потенциале региона, наносят существенный ущерб экономике Юга России. Dusty storms as the most dangerous meteorological phenomenon are widely practiced on the flat country of the south European part of Russia. Their negative influence are in mechanical restriction of top soil, the soil's impoverishment, that is seen in its cadastral value. Dusty storms have negative influence at the agricultural potential of regions, inflict damage to the economy of South Russia.

ГОУ ВПО «Невинномысский государственный гуманитарно-технический институт»Аннотация: Переувлажнение земель получило широкое распространение на большей территории Юга европейской части России. Опасность этого природного явления заключается в ухудшении качества почвы и снижении кадастро-вой стоимости земли. Переувлажнение земель отрицательно сказывается на сельскохозяйственном потенциале ЮФО, нанося ущерб региональной экономике. Annotation:The land's overdamping is widly spread on the large territory of the South European part of Russia. Danger of this nature phenomenon is in a worsening of land's quality and reduction of it's cadastral value. The land's overdamping gives warning at the agricultural potential of the South Federal Region by inficting damage to the Region's economy.Ключевые слова: переувлажнение, деградация земель, ущерб.

Under consideration are results of studying an actual and very important problem related to dangerous underground flood processes and their occurrence in southern regions of European Russia. A comprehensive analysis was made to identify reasons for the development and intensity of such processes. It is shown that the underground flood processes become more intensive due to human activities in the sphere of water-power engineering. A system of measures is proposed how to protect the lands from the underground flood represented by a complex of preventive measures to maintain the optimal water-air regime in soils and to remediate their productivity.

Under discussion are the results of systematization and comprehensive analysis of different literature sources containing the information on degradation and dangerous natural processes at the Asian territory of the Russian Federation. The degradation and adverse natural processes are divided into 3 groups according to their hazard extent: (a) processes oriented to destroy the soils and lands, (b) processes changing the soil cover pattern and leading to degradation of soils and decreasing their fertility; (c) processes deteriorating the land productivity. The assessment is given to show the distribution and dangerous occurrence of degradation and adverse natural processes in the Asian part of Russia (gully erosion, destruction of seashores and banks of water bodies, changes in river channels and floodplains, underground flood, heavy rainfall, flooding). The distribution and dangerous manifestation of adverse processes are highly varying at the studied territory in dependence on peculiar natural-climatic conditions. The paper presents the plans to continue such studies at the territory of European Russia in 1916 and their further development at the total country’s territory within the framework of the project “Transformation, evolution and degradation of soils due to agrogenesis and global climate changes”. The solution of the problem envisaged by this project is of primary importance in order to solve the social-economic tasks and objectives facing the country as well as to strengthen the Institute’s position as a leading centre in the given field of soil science.
