Abstract:
This article analyzes demonstrations of natural hazards, their space – time patterns are identified, and the extent of natural hazards on the territory of Astrakhan region is evaluated. A set of thematic charts and maps was developed; the influence of natural hazards in local areas of the region was evaluated. A number of measures to mitigate the negative impact by natural hazards on the environment and population vital activities of the region is offered.

Abstract:
The evaluation analysis was conducted to identify different approaches to the recreational use of protected natural areas (PNA) of Federal Significance – Northwest Caucasus. The relevant methodology was developed; criteria and evaluation indicators of recreational prospects have been identified. The perspective approaches to development of regional model (scheme) were highlighted. Such system of measures should include managerial strategies, taking into account the ecological necessity and feasibility study.

Abstract:
The article features the results of physic-chemical properties and laboratory studies of the electrical resistivity of some soil types in the forest, forest-steppe and steppe landscapes of South Cisbaikalia and Priolkhonye. It has been proved, that the electrical parameters have certain differences in the genetic horizons of the soil profile and are dependent on the type of soil genesis and their physico-chemical properties. Knowledge of these characteristics provides additional understanding of the migration processes of soil moisture and dissolved substances that lead to the differentiation of the soil profile for genetic horizons and influence the physical and chemical properties, diagnostics and sample types of soils. This research was supported by the Science Development Foundation under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan – Grant № EİF-Mob-1-2013-1(7)-16/04/2

Abstract:
The article identifies and presents an indicator (relaxation time), which can be regarded as a key criterion concerning suitability of crops for nutrition. The allowable ranges of the values criteria for ecological and economic assessment of living standards are considered. The authors have conducted comparative characteristic of quality of tomatoes, fruits and seeds of melons. The qualitative analysis of used water for irrigation was made. This condition guarantees quantity and quality of the crop, which is closely interrelated with health security issues. The proposed admissible limits scale featured 4 gradations (minimum; neutral; middle and maximum). The practical appliance of Nanodiagnostic method for identifying product quality in agriculture, based on the methodology "Shammas", ensures the effective environmental and economic assessment of value and quality of life. The duration of express method is less than 30 minutes, and it is conducted on molecular genetic level, which is a proof of universality of proposed nanoinstrumentarium.

Abstract:
The article features peculiarities of morphological structure of zonal and intrazone landscapes of Northern Caspian region. The basic types of deserted and semidesertic natural-territorial complexes are shown. The specific features of morphological structure of landscapes of Volga Delta and Volgo-Ahtubinskaya floodplains are considered. Key factors of zonal and intrazonal developments of landscapes are revealed. Natural-territorial complexes are considered with the focus on physical-geographic features of zoning. Morphological structure of landscapes is considered within the limits of one of subregions – the Astrakhan oblast.
