Geoecological Aspects of Adverse Natural and Anthropogenic Processes and Phenomena

Abstract

Anthropogenic factors are caused by various forms of human impact on individual components of the environment and geosystems. They cover the processes of direct human impact on the environment or indirect, which refers to technogenesis. Anthropogenic factors are land development for sowing and planting of agricultural crops, deforestation, construction of hydroelectric power plants, passive and active import of various animals and plants, and pest control. This characterizes the number of direct or indirect anthropogenic impacts on the environment. Most often they appear both by chance, with a one-time impact on the natural environment and the geosystem, and purposeful human activity.
