Soil science is a study of soil as a natural resource on the surface of the earth including soil formation , classification and mapping . Physical , chemical , biological and fertility properties of soils , and these properties in relation to the use and management of soils for crop production. As in other areas of Kyrgyzstan, in the Chui valley observed altitude change of land cover. three major belts can be distinguished: flat semi-desert-dry steppe, low- and middle-meadow forest-steppe and steppe alpine meadow.
Semi-desert-dry steppe zone covers the flat part of the Chui valley, heavily plowed and densely populated. As a result, here the natural landscape has given way to cultural. Panorama it is very picturesque. Among the fields of wheat, corn, alfalfa, sugar beet find numerous villages with orchards, vineyards, ornamental plants. Valley cross the railroad, an extensive network of roads, power lines, irrigation canals. In some places the landscape is industrial in nature - along the railway, which housed the factories, and especially in Frunze - the capital and the largest industrial center of the republic.
