The desertification of the North-Western Caspian region controlled by the arid and humid rhythms of climate, the natural features of the landscape, intensity of human activities. Trends of desertification are identified by a method of monitoring the state of vegetation, land, irrigation systems, infrastructure of transport networks, cities and settlements. It has been established that productivity and species diversity of natural vegetation required normalized load pasture, agriculture requires the use of modern farming practices, socio-economic development of territories - the regulation system of environmental protection measures. The results of the monitoring are presented in the form of raster and vector images, the synthesis of which forms a map of ecological destabilization of landscapes of the study area.

Key words: North-Western Caspian sea, desertification, monitoring, vegetation, land
