Methods for reducing erosion on degraded pastures of slope lands of the RSO-Alania

Abstract

A wide variety of vegetation in mountain pastures is a valuable food base for animals. In order to preserve various plant species, quality and quantitative composition are systematically monitored. However, due to erosion processes on mountain slopes, a number of valuable forage plants are disappearing and a number of measures are being carried out to restore disturbed lands aimed at reducing the adverse factors of natural feed sources. On pastures of sloping lands that have steep slopes, vegetation is better preserved, thanks to the corrals located around the camp or across the slope. In the course of research, the areas of degraded pastures and the consequences of erosion processes were studied, where the composition of the plant community was determined. Crops with high accumulating properties were sown in degraded areas to reduce toxic elements in the soil.
