The soil is the result of the interaction of a complex of soil-forming factors. In the process of agricultural use, anthropogenic impacts on the soil lead to its significant properties, increase the degradation of its potential and effective fertility, which affects the growth of dehumification, overconsolidation, decalcification and loss of structure. In addition, the agrogenic impact is augmented by climatic conditions and the specifics of the geomorphological structure of the territory. The high degree of plowing of the territory of the Kursk region and the differentiated relief have led to the development of intense erosion processes, which lead to a decrease in the productivity of agricultural landscapes. It is necessary to study in detail the regional specificity of the ecological state of the soil cover under the conditions of different geomorphological elements in order to distinguish between the natural degradation of slope soils and their agrogenic transformation.
