Abstract
Among the global problems of humanity that require an urgent comprehensive solution, along with global warming, desertification occupies one of the leading places. At the moment, over 2 billion hectares of productive land worldwide are degraded, and annually 12 million hectares are subject to the process of destruction. The article analyzes the influence of modern natural and anthropogenic processes on the state of the landscapes of the peninsula, which can lead to land desertification. It is noted that over the past 30 years there has been a steady upward trend in air temperature deviations from the norm in almost the entire territory of Crimea and an increase for precipitation. The activation of natural and dangerous hydrometeorological phenomena on the territory of the peninsula has been statistically proven, which leads to the activation of the processes of erosion, deflation, and manifestations of droughts. For the first time, a methodology for assessing the coefficient of potential danger of desertification for the territory of the Crimean peninsula has been proposed.
