The ecological framework of the catchment area in the dry steppe zone (on the example of the Tsutskan River basin)

The article considers the structure of the ecological framework (EF) in relation to the catchment area in the dry-steppe zone as an important approach to achieve a balance between environmental protection and nature management. The results of work on the formation of the ecological framework of the Tsutskan River catchment area based on own materials are presented. Measures for the reconstruction of the EF in the studied basin are proposed.
