    Bibliographic description in the original language V. N. Golosov, P. M. Sosin, V. R. Belyaev, B. Wolfgramm, and Sh. I. Khodzhaev Effect of IrrigationInduced Erosion on the Degradation of Soils in River Valleys of the Alpine Pamir. Eurasian Soil Sciences, vol.48, no.3, 2015, 325-335.
    Annotation Results of a study were analzyed, which was conducted on the arable stony alpine soils in the Gunta River valley and the upper Panj River. Such soils are occurring in different regions of the Western Pam irs. The physicochemical properties of the soils were studied using conventional methods, and the degrada tion rate of the soil cover was determined using the radiocesium method. Low contents of humus (<2.5%) and nutrients, primarily related to the natural pedogenesis conditions, were indentified for the subsoils of the studied river valleys. The limiting factors are temperature and precipitation. The irrigationinduced erosion, which is manifested on slopes of >2?3? with furrow irrigation, is the main anthropogenic factor of soil deg radation. The lower content of humus in the soils of the Panj River valley is due to the larger portion of slopes >3? with furrows irrigation, on which also maximum rates of irrigationinduced erosion (>30 ha/year) were observed.
