Abstract:
The article reflects the information about the distribution of linear erosion in Selenginsks middle mountains on the example of pools of the rivers Kuitunka, Кunaleika and Тarbagataika, where the various types of hollow formations are revealed together with the reduction of the qualitative and quantitative characteristics and with the reflection of morphological and morphometric parameters. This process is connected with natural factors - climatic, geomorphologic, and soil - vegetative, but during the last years as a supervising factor began to act the anthropogenic activity. The intensity of the erosive processes depends on the ratio of a complex of natural and economic conditions, which quite often conflict, causing fast destruction of soils
