LANDSCAPES OF THE LEFT SLOPE OF SOKOLOV RAVINE AND PART OF WATERSHED PLATEAU BETWEEN AKSAI AND TUZLOV RIVERS, NORTHWEST OF KLYUCHEVОY VILLAGE

Abstract

The paper gives characteristic of the landscapes of the left slope of Sokolovа ravine of the southwestern exposition, the part of the water-shed plateau adjacent to it from the north be-tween the Aksai and Tuzlov rivers which are located to the south of the Klyuchevоy village. We have studied taxonomic levels, qualitatively differing from each other by landscape-forming factors, taking into account the degree of influ-ence of these individual factors and their dif-ferent correlations with each other on the growth of the grapevine plant, the yield of vineyards, the quality of the vineyard and vini-cultural products. Landscape-forming factors at the microrelief level are geology, relief, soil and groundwater. Obtaining the necessary land-scape-forming data was carried out by drilling the wells of the ground to a depth of up to 10 m with a morphological description of soil, geo-logical and hydrogeological profile, with taking soil and groundwater samples for chemical analysis, paying special attention to landscape-forming factors that may be limiting for laying vineyards and to those that create optimal agroecological conditions for vineyards.
