Purpose: to analyze the features of erosion processes in the Zaporozhye region. 

Discussion. The features of the landscape areas of the Zaporozhye region, which are optimal from the point of view of the development of further soil conservation measures in the region were analyzed. Within different landscapes, the intensity of erosion processes and their localization vary significantly. Water erosion is most intense in the territory with a predominance of slope-terrace and gully-ravine terrains, in particular, in the northern steppe landscape regions – the Azov Upland, the South Dnieper Slope-Upland, and the Konsko-Yalinskaya Lowland. In the territory of the middle and southern steppe, water erosion has a lower incidents intensity, due to the predominance of watershed and slope-watershed level areas. Wind erosion is most pronounced in areas adjacent to the coast of the Azov Sea and on elevated terrain (the Western Azov Slope Upland, the Azov Lowland, the Sivash-Azov Lowland, and the Azov Lowland regions). Here, the wind regime is most intense, while low precipitation and open surfaces accelerate deflation processes. Floodplain areas are characterized by the development of salinization and alkalinization processes and are most common in the Sivash-Azov Lowland region, which is distinguished by arid climatic conditions and corresponding soil and geochemical properties. 

Conclusions. Based on the conducted analysis, it was established that the erosion processes incidents in the Zaporozhye region depends on the landscape features of the territory. Water erosion processes are confined to short and steep slopes and depend significantly on precipitation and soil properties. Wind erosion predominates in areas adjacent to the Azov Sea coast, as well as on the surface of the Azov Upland and its windward slopes.
