In the modern era, it is crucial to analyze the soil of mountain and sub-mountain regions and study the degradation process with the help of remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) data analysis. These methods are effective tools for planning purposes, including land cover analysis, forest, and water studies. The present study focuses on the changes in land cover and degradation processes in the mountain and sub-mountain regions of the Tashkent region, located in the western part of the eastern Tien-Shan mountains. Due to the climate, this area receives substantial precipitation. However, human encroachment has led to the improper use of pastures, resulting in land use and cover changes. The study area has seen vacant land and open forest converted into open land, leading to increased soil degradation due to rainfall. GIS technologies aid in monitoring such changes and developing effective solutions.
