Особливості прояву спустелювання в степовій зоні України

Abstract

Excessive anthropogenous loads on various kinds of landscapes in droughty zones and insufficient humidifying cause or assist formation of negative natural processes and the phenomena, which are united by terms: “aridization”, “desertification”. Distinctive features and dynamics of this process are caused mainly by excessive anthropogenous activity. One of the displays of this reason is the tendency of variation of climatic parameters - temperature and precipitation. Peculiar properties of aridization territories of the south of Ukraine have been examined in the article on the basis of analysis of the given meteorological stations and the coefficient of aridity has been calculated.
