Quantitative parameters of the composition of the tracts of landscape area Lesostepnoye Privolzhye of the Nizhny Novgorod region

Abstract

The article presents the results of landscape studies on the territory of the landscape area of Lesostepnoye Privolzhye located within the elevated right-bank part of the river the Volga. The studies were carried out in October 2015 with the goal of creating a scheme of landscape zoning at the level of landscapes and tracts. As a basis, the authors used the scheme of landscape zoning of the Nizhny Novgorod region, developed by F.M. Bakanina with co-authors (2003) at the level of landscape areas. The authors relied on the structural-genetic approach, as a result of research 17 types of tracts were identified, their spatial distribution was revealed. The developed scheme of landscape zoning can be used for the purposes of territorial planning.
