THE IMPACT OF GLOBAL WARMING ON ECOSYSTEMS USING THE EXAMPLE OF THE ASTRAKHAN REGION AND THE SATURATION OF CATTLE MICROORGANISMS WITH MICROELEMENTS AND VITAMINS
Global warming affects ecological ecosystems, changing their temperature and light conditions, affecting biological diversity. We consider a particular example of the Astrakhan region. In the created ecosystem, the main climatic indicators change - temperature conditions, humidity indicators, direction and speed of air flows, as well as their intensity. Together with other factors, this leads to "dehydration" of the Lower Volga-Caspian basin, namely, the shallowing of the Lower Volga, progressing from year to year, and, as a consequence, a decrease in the water level in the Caspian Sea, which leads to shallowing of the banks and the so-called desertification. This process, first of all, affects the content of trace elements and vitamins in the soil, water and plants. Their content level changes every year for the worse. This affects farm animals. Cattle suffer especially from this process, since their main diet is the plant component of the Astrakhan region and water from the Volga River, which flows into the Caspian Sea. Animals lack microelements and vitamins - this affects their growth and development. Their body cannot form a full immunity, which increases the risk of infectious and invasive diseases. There is a need to add additional feeding and biologically active additives to the diet.
