Pasture farming and its impact on the geoecological situation in the Rakhiv District of Transcarpathian Region

Abstract

The peculiarities of geospatial differentiation and the current state of the pasture farming in the territory of the Rakhiv District of the Transcarpathian Region are described. A database was created and statistical information on the species structure and number of livestock in the studied area was analyzed, which made it possible to determine the centers of the greatest farming load on the mountain geocomplexes of the area. As a result of the conducted research, maps of the distribution of mountain pastures and the distribution of livestock within the territorial communities of the Rakhiv district were also developed, the functioning and development of which is possible under the condition of inexhaustible use of natural resources. Special attention is paid to the analysis of geoecological consequences and dangers associated with the long-term management of pasture farming in the Rakhiv District.
