This article examines the characteristics of the soil cover in the Jizzakh region, including its formation, major environmental issues, and modern methods of study and monitoring using geoinformation technologies (GIS). The processes of soil formation influenced by climate, relief, and anthropogenic factors, as well as the impact of irrigation systems on soil composition, are described. Special attention is paid to methods of soil mapping and spatial data analysis, which allow for a more accurate assessment of soil degradation and the development of effective soil restoration measures. The study is based on an analysis of scientific sources, remote sensing data, and GIS cartography.
