Abstract
The purpose of this article is directed to the characterization of the key features and results of the landscape diversity and diversity of the landscape genetic-morphological structure metrization within the mixed-forest complexes of the Dnipro River left bank territory of Ukraine on the example of the tested research area for the needs of future landscape-planning tools elaboration and implementation in the region. The definition of “landscape diversity” and its initial concept are briefly depictured in this article. For the reason of solving the key goal, much emphasis has been placed on the mathematical notations according to which the landscape diversity was established. The metrization of the landscape diversity was done on the example of the tested area situated in the north part of Novgorod-Siversk 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. Much of the efforts have been tailored to specify the landscape diversity of the tested area by using such parameters as taxonomic and typological, horologic and topologic, individual topologic diversity, integral level of structure compli-cacy, taxonomic presentation, taxonomic dispersion, and entropy; their development specificity. The re-sults 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.
