ASSESSMENT OF LANDSCAPE DIVERSITY TO DEVELOP PROGRAMS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF KHABAROVSK KRAI

Abstract
On the case study of Khabarovsk krai, the results of the landscape diversity assessment at the regional level are presented, based on the landscape maps of Khabarovsk krai (on a scale of 1:2000000) and the Northern Sikhote-Alin (on a scale of 1:250000). The high degree of the krai’s landscape diversity is predetermined by the presence of a large number of natural boundaries of the highest hierarchical rank. It indicates the importance of the geosystems of the investigated territory for the conservation of landscape diversity of Russia. For each municipal district of the krai, the total landscape diversity index is obtained on the basis of indices of typological and horological diversity, relative wealth, and mosaicity. More in detail landscape diversity was analyzed for a large natural object – the Northern Sikhote-Alin. Calculations of indices of relative wealth and complexity of landscape plots were carried out in the municipal districts located within this mountain system. A high degree of mosaicity, an increase in number of small structures of landscapes is associated with increased anthropogenic impact (fires and logging). It is shown that when developing programs for regional sustainable development, the landscape diversity conservation criterion should be taken into account in territorial environmental planning and regulating economic activity. For poorly developed regions, the significance of such an assessment increases many times, primarily in the view of preserving the natural heritage of the state and providing global ecosystem services.
