Abstract
The article focuses on the specifics of medium-scale landscape mapping using traditional methods. For mapping studies of modern tendencies of geosystem’s functioning was chosen the part of the Tunkinskaya depression and the mountains surrounding it (Southwestern Cisbaikalia). A landscape map was created in the scale of 1 : 100000. It reflects the differentiation of the territory into categories of landscape structures according to the types of zonal-altitude-belt conditions of the natural environment. The conditions differ in morphological and phytocenotic properties, as well as in anthropogenic transformation. The main factors of landscape discreteness are the geomorphological features of the surface structure of mountain-valley territories. The dynamics of the geosystem’s functioning reflects the complexes with natural vegetation and their derivatives biocenoses formed in the process of agricultural and pyrogenic transformation. The variable states include complexes formed in river valleys as a result of the manifestation of debris flows activity. The result is an image of the current state of geosystems. This is the scientific basis for predicting the development of geosystems, taking measures to optimize environmental management and addressing the risk of hazardous natural processes.
