Lanscape Differentiation Territories of the Sunzha River Basin

Abstract

The landscape differentiation of the territory of the Sunzha River basin was carried out on the basis of landscape mapping and geoinformation analysis using data from the geological structure and vegetation cover. Classes, subclasses, types, subtypes, and groups of landscapes are highlighted. The landscapes of the mountainous and foothill parts of the Sunzha River basin differ sharply from each other, which is associated with the high-altitude zonation characteristic of the basin and long-term anthropogenic activity, which increases the stress on natural complexes.
