The influence of grape plantations on morphogenetic diagnostic indicators of arid subtropical soils. Journal of Water and Land Development. No. 25 p. 37–40 Abstract Results of the study showed that cultivation of the grey-brown (chestnut) and mountain brown soils under the grape plantation changes their morphogenetic and morphological characteristics in arid subtropical climatic condition. Performed cultivation caused migration of humus into the deeper soil layers. The denser horizon formed under a soft layer. This results in a change of the soil chemical structure and water-physical properties. These changes manifested themselves under irrigative condition. Key words: diagnostic index, fertility, grape plants, morphogenetic properties, soil morphology INTRODUCTION Agricultural processes influence soil-forming The study begun by defining zone inclination and conditions.

  • State Programme on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development 2003-2005 Azerbaijan Progresses Toward the Achievement of the Mill
    STATE PROGRAMME ON POVERTY REDUCTION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 2003-2005 AZERBAIJAN PROGRESSES TOWARD THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS PROGRESS REPORT – 2003/2004 BAKU – 2005 DECREE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN on Approval of the State Programme on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development in the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2003-2005 The consistent reform program carried out in the Republic of Azerbaijan in recent years has helped to ensure economic development, gradual improvement of macroeconomic performance and improvement of the living standards in the country. Thus, in the period 1996-2002, Gross Domestic Product increased by 1.7 times, capital investment increased by 7.8 times, nominal monetary income of population increased by 3 times and average monthly wages and pensions increased by 5 times. There are improvements in other economic performance indicators. However, these ongoing efforts and achievements have not yet led to a sufficiently high level of economic development and the living standards of the population have still not reached international standards: part of population is still unemployed, minimum wages are not sufficient to meet the minimum subsistence level and a number of factors causing poverty have not been eliminated. In order to further strengthen social protection of the population for the near future, ensure poverty reduction in the country and implement necessary measures to meet the commitments of the 2000 United Nations Millennium Summit, I hereby decree: 1. The “State Program on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development in the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2003-2005” shall be approved. 2. The Ministry of Economic Development of the Republic of Azerbaijan shall be responsible for coordinating the implementation of measures set out in the State Program.

In Azerbaijani part of the Greater Caucasus, which has been intensively developed in recent years in order to exploit recreational resources. Based on the interpretation of the ASP within the Azerbaijani part of the Greater Caucasus based on the derived from the effect of mudflow processes (the amount of material taken out, the erosive effect of the flow on the valley, the accounting of the mudflows and the basin as a whole, and the prevailing types and classes of mudflows, the geomorphological conditions of formation and passage mudflows, and statistical data on past mudflows) on the actual and possible damage affecting the population from mudflows a map-scheme was drawn up according to five- point scale. On the scale there are zones with a high (once in two-three years, one strong mudflow is possible) - V, with an average (possibility for one strong mudflow every three-five years) - IV, with a weak (every five-ten years is possible 1 strong mudflow) - III, with potential mudflow hazard - II and where no mudflow processes are observed - I.
