Influence of economic factors on the rational use and protection of land and water resources

The article considers the issues of anthropogenic impact on the natural environment in modern conditions. The widespread use of various means of production of scientific and technological progress is the main factor of changing the environment. As a result, forming natural complexes lead to negative consequences in the process of agricultural land use. Analyzing the various negative consequences of anthropogenic impact on land use, the authors conclude that they manifest themselves exclusively as degradation of the soil cover, considering not only as a negative impact on the ecosystem, but also as a response of the ecosystem to the changes violating its inherent properties.
