Condition and dynamics of land ecosystems and biotic communities of river plains and deltas to the greatest extent depend on the hydrological regime of the territory and climatic factors. Therefore, regulation of runoff dams and creation of reservoirs on rivers in linked with the climate change cause profound changes in the status and dynamics of delta ecosystems and landscapes, which leads to various negative consequences. They are especially great in arid areas, where the most productive valley landscapes. According to the results of monitoring of soil, cover on the stationary profile in the delta of the Volga River from 1979 to 2011. The analysis of the dynamics of water-soluble salt ions in soil layer 0-15 cm meadows of low, medium and high levels in a changing climate and hydrological regime; calculated the total amount of salt toxicity and the ratio Cl / SO2-4 in the aqueous extract; calculated by decade dynamics mean annual air temperature, the average amount of temperature for the period with a temperature morethan 10 В°C, the long term average jearly precipitation, hydrothermal coefficient of Selyaninov G.T., change in the average amount of precipitation for the period with temperatures morethan 10 В°C, the volume of water flow in the alignment of the Volgograd hydroelectric power station, the percentage of flow for the second quarter of the total annual flow.
