Summary/Abstract: This study aims to explore the geological and geomorphological factors, relief morphometry, soil cover, destructive processes affecting soils, hydrography, land vulnerability, and anthropogenic changes within the limits of the Republic of Moldova based on cadastral and other open source data from geodata.gov.md, satellite and orthophoto images. The research findings, conducted by the Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Moldova State University, are illustrated through thematic maps, which are included in the Atlas "Abiotic Environmental Factors and Ecological Security", published in 2023. The maps in the atlas are presented at scales ranging from 1:1,500,000 to 1:3,500,000, with each page enhanced by supporting diagrams, text, photographs, and graphs.
