Abstract

Formation of hydromorphic floodplain soils of the valley of the Nizhny Don occurs mainly under the influence of anthropogenic erosion and due to lowering the water content of the floodplains below the dams as the result of the construction of the Tsimlyansk reservoir. Road transport and overgrazing contribute to the degradation of natural meadow vegetation until its complete destruction. As a result, the properties of soils, as well as the content and composition of humus, significantly change, the water-physical properties of soils deteriorate and the processes of secondary salinization develop with the nearby proximity of mineralized groundwater.
