The Landscape Complexes of the Regional Landscape Park «Murafa»
Abstract
Purpose. To identify the peculiarities of the landscape complexes of the regional landscape park (RLP) «Murafa».
Methods: theoretical generalization, systematization of facts, finding of empirical relationships, analytical and cartographic analysis, cartographic, logic, field.
Results. Forest-steppe upland landscapes are widespread on the territory of RLP Murafa. Within them sloping, floodplain, floodplain-terrace, watercourse and plakor terrains are well-defined. The tracts of slopes of different steepness with oak-hornbeam forests on chernozems podzolic and dark grey podzolic soils, with meadow steppes on deep low humus chernozems, tracts of limestone and granite outcrops have been preserved in the sloping areas. Meadows of different levels and humidity, black alders, willows, sedge thickets are typical tracts of floodplains. The tracts of flat surfaces with oak-hornbeam forests on dark grey podzolic soils and chernozems podzolic were common in the past in the structure of floodplain-terraces areas. Aquatic areas of shallow and deep places are distinguished in watercourse areas. Aquatic tracts of islands, rapids, shivers, the central watercourse, shallow watercourses and branches, bays were formed on the shallow areas. The tracts of central deep water, central shallow water and coastal shoals were formed on the deep places. The tracts of convex areas of actual watersheds with meadow steppes groupings on typical shallow low-humus chernozems are allocated on plakors. The tracts of slightly sloping surfaces of watersheds and ravines with dark grey podzolic soils under oak and hornbeam forests also were common here in the past.
Conclusion. While creating RLP "Murafa", mainly integral natural complexes of river valleys were included. It was found that the landscape structure at the local level is dominated by sloping areas. The least common are plakor areas. It was discovered that rural residential, meadow-pasture agricultural, mining, forest and water anthropogenic landscapes were formed on the place of natural tracts of the park due to the process of anthropogenization.
