Comparative analysis of the state of desertification of the lands of West and East Kazakhstan

The study performs an analysis and comparison of two completely different, but in some cases similar regions of West and East Kazakhstan. The influence of climate data changes, soil structure and its sensitivity on desertification in Kazakhstan over the decades of the 2000s, 2010s and from 2020 to 2024 is described using the example of West and East Kazakhstan. The author compared and detected that the soil types: Zg, XI, So, WR and KI are found both in the West and in the East of Kazakhstan exposed to degradation of soil structure. Climatic parameters, such as the temperature of the area fixed range between 3.6-4.9°С, humidity change significantly, all the time within 64% and 77%, and precipitation in different time periods changed from 416 mm to 605 mm. Using remote sensing data, the author analyzed changes in the natural environment, created visualizations and 3D modeling during the monitoring process. Thus, a set of existing research papers, statistical information and own experience were presented, since in the course of the work the results of scientific research on desertification were presented. The results of the study showed that there is an accelerated process of land desertification in Kazakhstan.
