Abstract
Purpose. The purpose of the article directed to characterize the key features and results of the landscape diversity and diversity of the landscape genetic-morphological structure metrization within the forest-steppe complexes of the Left bank the Dnepr river of Ukraine territory on the example of the tested research area for the needs of future landscape-planning tools elaboration and implementation in the region. Data & Methods. The metrization of the landscape diversity was done on the example of the tested area situated in the central part of Sumy slope-elevated physiographic region by using the proposed algorithm, and a group of methodical approaches and principles that helped to distinguish the specific features, and by using the group of structural block parameters. Results. The specificity of the landscape diversity the tested area is depictured by such parameters as taxonomic and typological, horologic and topologic, individual topologic diversity, integral level of structure complicacy, taxonomic presentation, taxonomic dispersion, and entropy; their development specificity. The results of analysis are visualized in a form of mapping model and graphical models. Also, an emphasis is placed on the opportunity of using obtained results for the landscape planning tools validation.
