Development of new trends in the disciplines of landscape geophysics
Abstract
The formulation and development of the discipline “Geophysics of the landscape” were based on the system approach, physical monism, method of balances and the trophic pyramid model. The wide application of measuring procedures and GIS-technologies at the beginning of the 21st century led to the accumulation of a huge array of data on the state of landscapes. The idea of the necessity of creating a physical and mathematical basis for the synthesis of the structure and functioning of geosystems was established. Since the beginning of the century physical and mathematical training made a considerable progress at the department of physical geography and landscape studies as a result of the establishment of such disciplines as “Instrumental base of landscape studies”, “Methods of analysis of spatial data”, “Modeling of geosystems”, “Geoinformation technology of landscape studies”, “Biogeophysics and biogeochemistry of landscapes“, “Mathematical morphology of landscape”, “Physical and mathematical principles of landscape studies” and others. Specific features of material presentation with the account of the knowledge of mathematics in the volume taught to the physical geography stream are considered. The way of introducing basic equations and models at the physical level of rigor is justified. New disciplines are discussed in brief. The link of systems methodology with the physical and mathematical essence of the landscape organization model is shown by the example of landscape-hydrological geosystems according to Horton and Straler. Practical value of the development of the direction for optimization of nature management and forest management is shown.
