The Autumn Series of Seminars Continues with the Participation of a Leading Foreign Specialist, the Scientific Supervisor of the Laboratory, Fedor Tatarinov
In the period from October 31 to December 05, 2023, the International Laboratory of Landscape Ecology conducts the series of seminars on the topic "Current methods and approaches in landscape and environmental research". On November 14, the third seminar of the series on the topic "Assessment of the state of the vegetation cover structure based on the equity participation metric" was held.
Mikhail Puzachenko, senior researcher of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences, told how the landscape structure of model ecoregions was identified using formalized quantitative methods, the patterns of its hierarchical large-scale organization were described and its significance as a factor affecting the representativeness of specially protected natural territories (SPNA) of federal significance was studied. In particular, the assessment of the representativeness of protected areas of federal significance in relation to the landscape structure of model ecoregions showed insufficient representation of typical landscape combinations within their boundaries, which justifies the expediency of further development of the network of protected areas.
