ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF ANTHROPOGENIC FACTORS ON THE ASSIMILATION POTENTIAL OF THE TERRITORY

The article analyzes the influence of anthropogenic factors on the assimilation potential of the Central Chernozem region. Analysis of national reports and statistics from Rosstat on greenhouse gas emissions for the period 2000-2023 allowed us to study the dynamics with and without LULUCF, which served as the basis for identifying the most significant categories of greenhouse gases in terms of emissions. Based on the impact of emission categories on natural ecosystems and the environment, three groups of anthropogenic factors have been formed: «pollution», «withdrawal», and «transformation». The influence of the first group of factors on the assimilation potential is expressed in the pollution of the atmosphere, soil and reservoirs with harmful liquid, solid, gaseous substances and waste. The influence of the second group of factors is confirmed by the violation of the natural resource potential and the natural balance of ecosystems as a result of mining. The influence of the third group of factors is expressed in the disruption of natural energy exchange and an increase in solar activity, formed as a result of exogenous processes. The use of the expert assessment method, supplemented by the coefficient of consistency and the criterion of correlation of expert opinions, made it possible to rank anthropogenic factors according to the level of their influence on the assimilation potential of the territory. In practice, the results of the analysis can be used in terms of developing regional greening policy measures aimed at ensuring the sustainability of territorial development in the context of achieving national goals.
