METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE WATER AREA LANDSCAPE COMPLEXES RESEARCH OF THE NATIONAL NATURE PARK “NYZHNIOSULSKYI”
Journal Title: Український географічний журнал - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue
Abstract
The article presents the methodology for the research of the water area landscape complexes of the conservation areas. Based on the suggested methodology the peculiarities of the water area landscape structure have been analyzed and the map of the water area landscape complexes of the national nature park “Nyzhniosulskyi” has been drawn. Existing methods of the districts division has been supplemented with such criteria as geomorphological conditions, type of the bottom sediments, contents of toxic substances. The division into districts of the water area of the national nature park according to the biotic and abiotic indices allowed distinguishing the following types of the water areas: fluvial one, fluvial and estuary one and estuary one. While transition from the river water area landscape complex to the fluvial and estuary one and to the estuary water area landscape complex the decline of water transparency, the increase of the dissolved oxygen content in the water, the increase of the species diversity and the change of water plant groups structure. The comparative analysis of the heavy metals content research in various types of the water area landscape complexes has been done with the boundary allowable values of the water quality indices. The quantity of the exceeding norms of the heavy metals content according to the analysis of the selected water samples has been identified. Suggested modification of existing methods may be productive for the scientific foundations of environmental protection, preservation and restoration of the water area landscape complexes.
