Analyzing the theoretical and practical aspects of studying changes in natural territorial complexes, the authors conclude that the anthropocentric paradigm has a negative impact on the use of agricultural landscapes. It is proposed to consider the interpretation of the term "erosion" not only as a process of destruction, but also as a process of accumulation and transformation of energy in ecosystems. In this regard, recommendations are proposed to change the methodological approaches to the study of the erosion process and its consequences.
