General naturalistic direction of research in Stone steppe

Kamennaya Steppe is a unique territory for the creation of an agricultural anthropogenic landscape of the Central Chernozem Region, which is the embodiment of the ideas of V.V. Dokuchaev to optimize the use of natural resources during their exploitation in agricultural production. Under the influence of man, the once barren Stone Steppe turned into a highly cultivated agricultural oasis, where new anthropogenic landscape complexes were created as a result of this activity. Against the background of the most important regional features of the nature of the territory, individual natural components are considered - microclimate, soil cover, flora and fauna.
