Research Results on the State of Pastures in Southern Uzbekistan

Abstract

This paper involves the development of land in the Kashkadarya basin, the development of the mining industry, and the expansion of the cattle breeding network and the transformation of the area’s pastures. In this regard, the information given in the above literature sources on the structure and composition of pastures cannot reflect the modern state of pastures in the mountain and sub-mountain regions of the Kashkadarya basin. In this case, it is important to inventory the pastures of the area, to determine the topo-typological structure, and to develop effective measures for the protection of pasture species. As a result of human development, the influence of anthropogenic factors on nature is increasing. This has resulted in the extinction of species or populations. This has become more noticeable in recent years. Due to the economic and social activities of people, the increase of anthropogenic pressure, the destruction of the habitats of species, the loss of local populations, irregular grazing of livestock, and the improper use of useful properties of plants have irreversible consequences.
