Abstract

This study focuses on monitoring the current state of the soil. For the first time in this area, correlations were found between fulvic acid carbon, humic acid carbon, average annual temperature, excess analysis, soil moisture, and soil organic carbon, compared with altitude and latitude. Based on monitoring conducted over 25 years (2000–2025), anthropogenic activities have negatively impacted soil and vegetation cover in the Republic of Azerbaijan. The article analyzes the main vegetation indices and the organic composition of soils in landscapes of the lowland and low-mountain regions (Ujar, Kurdemir, Agdash, Zardab, Hajigabul). The problem of protecting soils from erosion has acquired the most important socio-ecological significance; this study uses remote sensing.
