Modern state of soil cover Burlin district of West Kazakhstan region

Abstract

In the modern world, anthropogenic impact on the environment is common and leads to enormous
consequences, characterized in the form of land degradation, change and deterioration of soil cover,
water pollution, etc. at the moment, more than 1/2 of the landscapes of the earth’s surface are subject to
changes due to human impact, and, of course, this is the soil cover. About twenty per cent of the land
has changed dramatically, this percentage can be attributed to built-up areas, roads, airports, including,
drained, irrigated or flooded areas. Thirty percent is developed by agriculture, of which ten percent are
arable lands, twenty percent are pastures. That is, human impact on the soil occurs in a variety of forms,
bearing respectively direct or indirect impact. In this regard, timely actions in monitoring and assessing
