Changes and Reclamation Ways of Agricultural Lands at the Artik City and its Neighboring Rural Communities

Abstract

The impact of floods and wastes of closed stone ore at the Artik city on its urban agricultural land areas and on those of neighboring rural communities has been studied in the current article. The study has revealed, that in conditions of global climate changes the soil of the mentioned communities have undergone serious degradation due to the adverse effect of the closed stone ore wastes and floods. Recommendations presented per communities have been already contributed by the EPIU, at the RA Ministry of Environment, while the surface reclamation activities for the meadows will start from May, 2020. The implementation of the mentioned activities will lead to the prevention of the soil degradation in the mentioned communities and to the increase of soil fertility by 30.0 %-45.0 %.
