Classification of geographical facies in mining areas: a case study of the Far Eastern region

Abstract
F.N. Milkov mentioned that preparation of regional description, development of classification and mapping of anthropogenic landscapes are the most important tasks for anthropogenic landscape science. Currently, the relevance of these tasks has only increased as the insufficient development of the classifications of anthropogenic geocomplexes/geosystems is a factor that significantly depleting the contents of various (universal and specialized) informational and informational-analytical systems. So, the task of this article is to develop a classification of micro-landscapes (geographical facies) for the creation of detailed landscape maps and for the subsequent differentiated monitoring of the mining territories of the Sikhote-Alin biosphere area and surrounding regions. The mining in the Sikhote-Alin biosphere area determined the formation of several very different classes of anthropogenic landscapes. First of all, these are industrial geocomplexes. Residential, transport, agricultural geocomplexes were formed and developed largely under influence of the mining. It is revealed a great diversity of micro-landscapes, which belong to eight classes (orders) of the highest rank: technical terrestrial, natural-technical terrestrial, natural-technical amphibious, techno-natural terrestrial, techno-natural amphibious, techno-natural aquatic, natural terrestrial, natural amphibious. Existing classifications of anthropogenic geocomplexes/geosystems mainly developed by the inductive method, usually in the process of mapping. Apparently, when coverage of a wide range of micro-landscapes – from natural and techno-natural to natural-technical and technical – universal criteria for separation of classes of the same classification rank can be formulated only in general terms. More operational criteria should be specified within the individual classes. In the proposed classification of micro-landscapes (geographical facies), the classification criteria are defined quite clearly for some classes. Maps of micro-landscapes for two key areas covering a technogenic “core” and a natural surrounding area are presented.

- Classification of anthropogenic geographical facies is developed very poorly.
- A sequence of naturalness–artificiality of geocomplexes: natural → techno-natural → natural-technical → technical.
- Mining led to the formation of industrial, road and other geocomplexes in the region.
- There is a need for clearer criteria for classes of different ranks.
