Abstract

The disturbance of equilibrium in agroecological systems of Voghjaberd
community and their productivity decrease are mainly due to the strong landslides occurred in that area and to the erodibility of land resources. In the mentioned community 500 ha land area is highly prone to landslides, while 200 and 380 ha land areas are averagely and slightly susceptible to landslides respectively. About 69 % of the agricultural lands are strongly and averagely eroded. Thus, in the landslide areas it is necessary to establish anti-landslide forest strips, while to mitigate erosion in the steep slopes it is necessary to implement perennial plant sowing and fertilization with organic fertilizers in the arable lands and rangelands.
