Assessment of Regional Factors for Sustainable Development of Agrocenoses Based on GIS and Remote Sensing

Abstract

As the population grows, so does the demand for agricultural products. Ensuring sustainable agricultural product and agrocenoses development is essential at this time. In this regard, we are researching the present issue. Our research area covers the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, which has favourable conditions for the sustainable development of agrocenoses. In the article, the sustainable development of agrocenoses existing here and the ways to ensure it was analyzed, geographical conditions were studied, and their role in the sustainable development of agrocenoses was analyzed. Modern methods were used in the research. The natural conditions in the area underwent analysis and mapping via satellite image processing. The researchers drew up a regional map of agrocenoses in the study area and divided it into different regions. The data processing from Landsat 5, 8, and 9 satellites in the ArcGIS program enables comparison with the previous situation. Based on the research conducted, it has been determined that agrocenoses develop more intensively in low to medium-mountainous areas and along river banks.
