IRRIGATED MEADOW-ALLUVIAL SOILS OF THE ARAL SEA REGION AND THEIR MECHANICAL COMPOSITION (IN THE EXAMPLE OF NUKUS DISTRICT)

Abstract

In the article, the mechanical composition of irrigated meadow-alluvial soils in the Nukus massif of Nukus district is studied. In this case, the contour points of the Nukus massif were determined, sections were excavated up to the seepage waters, and the laws of changes in the mechanical composition of their layers were studied. Thus, according to the results of the research, the irrigated meadow-alluvial soils of the studied area are characterized by a unique geomorphological, climatic and vegetation cover, one of the unique features of the studied desert soils is their multi-layeredness and a sharp change in mechanical composition. In some places, sandy layers change to sandy loam, and sandy layers change to clay layers.
