Annotation It is noted that at the turn of two centuries, as a result of the liquidation of collective and state farms, about 40 million hectares of agricultural land in the Russian Federation have turned out to be unclaimed. It is shown that their present state is represented by a multitude of types of landscape complexes that are in different stages of self-regulation: forestry from deciduous-coniferous species arising as a result of self-sowing; weeds of such high- growth ruderal associations as thistles, cow-eaters; waterlogged meadows on floodplains, petrophytic tracts on the slopes, complexes with ruts and even fresh ravines. It is revealed that in the flat western part of the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan this self-regulation process depends on the location of specific complexes in the scheme of physico-geographical and soil zoning taking into account local climatic and meteorological conditions. It is determined that differences in dynamics are observed in the transition from the northern forest-steppe to the steppes, from the elevations to the plains, and also as a result of the redistribution of rainfall, depending on the barrier effect of the ridges of the South Urals and air masses coming to these territories from Central Asia and Kazakhstan. The field investigations have shown that the modern dynamics of these landscape complexes is represented, mainly, by the process of self-regulation and, in part, transformation. It is concluded that the process of self-healing is almost not expressed, as evidenced by differences in the state of the soil cover, represented by density, structure, humus content and even sod formation. It is established that the results of the studies can become the basis for introducing changes in the regionalization scheme
Key words Southern Cis-Ural; forest-steppe zone; agricultural land; self-restoration of landscapes; self-regulation of the landscape; agricultural landscape; succession; afforestation; formation of meadow vegetation; formation of steppe vegetation
