Abstract

The article describes the existing climate trends for western Siberia and Altai krai; Forecasts based on two global climate models are made up to 2030. The dynamics of arable and forested areas in Altai krai under conditions of climate siccation (aridization) is analyzed based on the results of the processing of remote-sensing data and official statistics. The trends in the development of the situation and measures to achieve land degradation neutrality, including the optimization of nature management, organization, and reorganization of protected areas, are considered.
