Stavropol Krai is located within Ciscaucasia and has an area of 6,616 thousand ha. Massive utilization of the territory, associated with the increased man-induced impact on the environment, caused the aggravation of negative processes in the agroecosystems of the region. Throughout all agroclimatic zones of the region, air temperature tends to increase, which is illustrated by both linear and polynomial trends. In 2010 there was also a rise in air temperature. A warmer spell, notably during the effective vegetation period, led to the precipitation falling in the form of short-term intense showers that generally contribute to erosion advancing. Given the prior climate conditions, the studies resulted in the arrangement of cultivated land, based on its agricultural validity, into four categories in hectares and percent of the area of agricultural land.
