Degradation of geosystems in the Belgorod region as a result of the economic activities

We determined the rates of anthropogenic degradation of vegetation cover, soils, the river network, the slope type of terrain, and of the geological framework of landscapes. A decrease of the anthropogenic transformation rate of the component composition of geosystems was revealed in the biogenic components - bio-inert components - abiogenic components series was revealed. The time of complete exhaustion of the natural-resource potential is forecast from the components of the physical-geographical environment.
