Geoecological assessment of the state of postagrogenic lands of the Moscow village soviet council of the Republic of Khakassia on the basis of remote sensing data

Abstract

Currently, the consequences which take place in Khakassia expansion of tree-shrub vegetation on fallow lands have not been properly assessed neither from an ecological nor economic point of view. Based on the analysis of the agricultural map scale 1: 100 000 decoding images Landsat 4–5, 7, 8 and Sentinel 1, and 2, as well as subsatellite ground researches were carried out the identification, the description and assessment of the qualitative state of postagrogenic lands of Khakassia exposed to the processes of overgrowth of tree-shrub vegetation. As an example, this article analyzes the processes of overgrowth of agricultural land on the example of the territory of the Moscow village council of Ust-Abakan district. A geoinformation project of spatial distribution of postagrogenic lands within the Moscow village council of Ust-Abakan district of Khakassia was developed. The results of the research showed that in the studied area in the structure of agricultural land 67204 hectares of land belongs to the fallows located at different stages of recovery of which 77 % exposed to overgrowth processes. The obtained data indicate the need for the formation of management decisions in the field of land use.
