Genesis and Dynamics of Landscape Areas in the Central Black Soil Region

Abstract

The aim is to study regional peculiarities of genesis and dynamics of landscape landscapes of the Central Black Soil Region - the main structural (typological) complexes of the territory, using a wide chronological section. Materials and methods. Based on field observations of multi-temporal landscape mapping, quantitative nd qualitative indicators of modern chorological and structural dynamics of terrain types have been established. Results and discussion. In the course of the research the origin and development of the most ancient landscape localities (paleo-locations), which formed in the south of the region during the continental period preceding the Paleogene transgression, have been established. The main features of the genesis of terrain types in the Neogene-Quaternary period have been revealed. Attention is focused on the role of tectonics, geological-geomorphological and climatic factors in landscape genesis and differentiation of the main terrain types. A special place is given to the analysis of ice landscape genesis and the associated origin of the tundra type of terrain. Conclusions. The obtained data indicate an increasing regressive trend in the development of landscapes of the Central Black Soil Region, manifesting itself in changes in the diversity, sustainability and potential of natural-territorial complexes.
