THE LANDSCAPE REPRESENTATIVENESS OF NATURE PROTECTION AREAS IN SEVASTOPOL
Abstract
Landscape representativeness is a key criterion for the territorial protection of nature. Sevastopol belongs to the regions leading in the share of nature protection areas (NPAs). The landscape map of Sevastopol was updated using the GIS technologies to become a basis for calculation and analysis of the landscape representativeness of NPAs. Specific features of the network of NPAs, which include water areas, landscape, botanical and complex protected objects of regional status, are discussed. The proportion of NPAs in the total area is very high, but they are distributed extremely unevenly. The following landscapes have the highest share of NPAs: broadleaf and pine forests of the northern macroslope of the mountains (67% of the landscape area), mountain meadows and mountain forest-steppe on the karst plateaus (87%) and forests of the Southern coast of Crimea (52%). At the same time some landscapes have very low share of NPAs: mixed grass steppes, shiblyak thickets, forest-steppe and oak forests of the foothills (0,2%) and the marine areas (2,3%).
