PALAEOGEOGRAPHIC ZONING OF THE EAST EUROPEAN PLAIN AS A BASIS FOR THE GEOECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF GEOSYSTEMS’ SUSTAINABILITY
Abstract
Palaeogeographic (PG) direction in geoecology is elaborated basing on the original integrated environmental and palaeogeographic zoning of the Russian Plain. The suggested model demonstrates the interaction of systemic factors of morpholithogenesis and the assessment criteria for its geoecological sustainability. Zoning units (zones, provinces, regions, districts) are shown on the map of the Central region with detailed geological and geomorphologic descriptions and the subsequent area-targeted assessment of the morpholithogenic base sustainability. The regularities of sustainable development of geosystems and trends of spatial and temporal variability of indicators revealed through the PG examination are relevant to the PG reconstructions and geoecological forecasts.
