Agricultural production characteristics of soils in the south slope of the great Caucasus on the example of the Sheki district of Azerbaijan

Soils along the south slope of the Great Caucasus, exemplified by the Sheki district in Azerbaijan, exhibit distinct agricultural production characteristics shaped by vertical zoning from intrazonal landscapes to subalpine meadows. The study identifies key diagnostic indicators and natural conditions influencing soil properties across these zones, providing critical insights for sustainable land use. By integrating soil-ecological and geobotanical analyses, the research offers a comprehensive understanding of how altitude and environmental gradients affect soil productivity in this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
