Annotation. In the article, as a result of studies conducted to assess the impact of animal husbandry on the transformation of the landscapes of the northeastern slopes of the Lesser Caucasus, it was found that the re­la­tionship between geocomplexes and economic ac­ti­vi­ties of people and life and their interaction is cha­rac­te­rized by considerable complexity. There is widespread information about the annual increase in the number of animals, the unsystematic use of pastures, the dry and hot climate of recent years, the lack of measures to im­prove pastures and other factors leading to erosion and desertification of summer and winter pastures. Pas­tu­res, which play an important role in the development of animal husbandry, especially sheep breeding. The main factor that has a greater impact on the transformation of landscapes in the study area is the strengthening of human influence on nature and the formation of new natural and anthropogenic landscapes during the tran­si­tion to a new production economy associated with the development of cattle breeding. cultivation, defo­res­ta­tion and destruction of forests for new pastures in the direction of the development of cattle breeding, which also reduces the amount of greenery, the oxygen layer is analyzed, leading to a decrease. It is explained that un­even, excessive and unseasonal grazing in the mo­untain meadow zone causes soil erosion in this zone, loss of vegetation density, the role of herbaceous plants in the process of tillage, and the formation of soil decay and protecting soil from erosion.

Keywords: Lesser Caucasus, animal husbandry, landscapes, transformation, harvesting, mowing, an­thropogenicity.
