Rose-colored (Rosaceae Juss.) flora of Kabardino-Balkaria

In the taxonomic structure of the flora of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (KBR), the family Rosaceae Juss. is in the top five. However, a special study of the rose-colored on the territory of the republic has not been carried out so far. In this regard, the purpose of the work was a geographical and biomorphological analysis, assessment of biodiversity and resource potential of the regional flora Rosaceae Juss. At present, the family Rosaceae of the KBR flora unites 29 genera and 145 species. Most of the genera have a weak species saturation (1-2 species). Potentilla, Rosa, Alchemilla are assigned to large genera, Cotoneaster, Crataegus and Rubus to medium ones, Sorbus, Geum and Fragaria to small ones. The distribution of species over the floristic subdistrict of the KBR is not uniform. Growth in different altitudinal zones, noted for 64.8% of the species, indicates the wide ecological plasticity of many Rosaceae. The similarity of the local floras of Rosaceae varies from very low (steppe and mountain zones) to high (alpine regions). The generic coefficient positively correlates with the number of species of floristic subareas and varies from 4.44 (Elbrus subdistrict) to 1.20 (TerskoProkhladnensky subdistrict). The originality of the Rosaceae is maximum in the Elbrus floristic subdistrict (3.45% of the total number of species). The flora of the Rosaceae is marked by tertiary and glacial relics, redlisted species, which, along with narrow endemics, need protection. According to the predominant groups of geoelements, the flora Rosaceae Juss. is boreal-common-holarctic-ancient mediterranean. The biomorphological spectrum of the flora belongs to the phanerophytic-hemicryptophytic type. In view of the multi-purpose economic use of a number of Rosaceae species the resource and ecological assessment of wild plants stocks is relevant for their involvement in the economic turnover

A preliminary study of reserve estimate and resource potential assessment of critical elements in the Jiaodong gold deposits, China

通过对大尹格庄和夏甸两个超大型金矿床的精金矿与尾矿砂中关键元素含量的分析，发现相对于华北克拉通地壳元素丰度，本次分析的稀贵元素Co、Rh、Ir和Ru，稀散元素Cd、Te和Se，稀有元素W和In均发生了不同程度的富集；特别是Te、Co和Cd超常富集达到伴生组分综合评价品位。根据伴生有用组分综合评价规范和金矿选矿报告相关参数，分别估算了金矿石和精金矿中可利用的关键金属矿产储量，其中夏甸金矿床内Te储量为69吨（精金矿中52吨）、Co储量为604吨（精金矿中413吨），大尹格庄金矿床内Cd储量为224吨（精金矿中206吨），这些均可直接回收利用。矿物学和矿物化学综合研究表明：Te主体以碲金矿、碲银矿、碲铋矿、碲铅矿和陈国达矿等独立矿物存在，与可见金密切共生；Co常以微量元素形式分布在金成矿早阶段的粗粒黄铁矿和磁黄铁矿中；Cd主要以类质同象的形式赋存于金成矿晚阶段的闪锌矿、黄铁矿和黄铜矿中。进一步通过对典型金矿床中黄铁矿原位和/或单矿物的Te与Co含量对比、并结合矿石中Co与Cd元素组成及其区域地球化学空间分布特征，综合约束了其超常富集特征与资源潜力，揭示新城、玲珑和寺庄金矿床及栖霞异常区分别有约2329吨、1035吨、1553吨和22790吨Co资源量，乳山、新城和焦家金矿床有约1529吨、126吨、216吨Te资源量，仓上、新立、三山岛、寺庄和新城金矿床、以及栖霞和招平北段异常区分别有约47.6吨、78吨、63.7吨、69吨、3564吨、7120吨和696吨Cd资源量；即胶东金矿集区具备近期被综合利用或作为未来潜在接替资源的Co、Te和Cd资源条件，且其展布区域广泛、资源潜力巨大。初步研究已显示胶东具有形成大型-超大型Cd、Te和Co矿床的资源条件，但关键金属资源的空间分布极不均一、其超常富集机理与规律尚不清楚，亟需深入研究。;Through analysis of critical element content in fine gold mine and tailing sands of the two super-large gold deposits of Dayingezhuang and Xiadian, it is found that relative to abundance of elements in crust of the North China Craton, rare and precious elements Co, Rh, Ir and Ru, scattered elements Cd, Te and Se, and rare elements W and In have all been enriched to different degrees; Especially, extreme enrichment of Te, Co and Cd has reached the comprehensive evaluation grade of associated components. According to comprehensive evaluation specifications of associated useful components and relevant parameters of gold beneficiation report, the available critical metal reserves in gold ores and fine gold mines were estimated respectively. The Te reserves in the Xiadian gold deposit are 69 tons (52 tons in fine gold mine), Co reserves are 604 tons (413 tons in the fine gold mine), and the Cd reserves in the Dayingezhuang gold deposit are 224 tons (206 tons in the fine gold mine), all of which can be directly recycled. Mineralogy and geochemistry studies show that Te mainly exists as independent minerals such as gold telluride, silver telluride, bismuth telluride, lead telluride and Chenguoda mineral, and they are closely associated with visible gold; Co is often distributed in the form of trace elements in the coarse-grained pyrite in the early stage of the gold mineralization; Cd mainly occurs in the sphalerite, pyrite and chalcopyrite in the late stage of gold mineralization in the form of isomorphism. Furthermore, by comparing the Te and Co content of pyrite in situ and/or single minerals in typical gold deposits, combined with the elemental composition of Co and Cd in the ore and its regional geochemical spatial distribution characteristics, the extreme enrichment characteristics are comprehensively restricted. The Xincheng, Linglong and Sizhuang gold deposits and the Qixia anomaly area have about 2329 tons, 1035 tons, 1553 tons, and 22790 tons of Co potential resources, respectively, and the Rushan, Xincheng and Jiaojia gold deposits have about 1529, 126, and 216 tons of Te resources, the Cangshang, Xinli, Sanshandao, Sizhuang and Xincheng gold deposits, and the Qixia and northern Zhaoping anomaly areas are about 47.6 tons, 78 tons, 63.7 tons, 69 tons, 3564 tons, 7120 tons and 696 tons of Cd resources, respectively; that is, the Jiaodong gold mining area has the Co, Te, and Cd resource conditions that are comprehensively utilized in the near future or as potential replacement resources in the future, and its spread area is wide and the resource potential is huge. Preliminary studies have shown that Jiaodong has the resource conditions for the formation of super-large Cd deposits, large-scale Te and Co deposits, but the spatial distribution of critical metal resources is extremely uneven, and its extreme enrichment mechanism and law are still unclear, and in-depth research is urgently needed.

Evaluation of gas-in-place content and gas-adsorbed ratio using carbon isotope fractionation model: A case study from Longmaxi shales in Sichuan Basin, China

Gas-in-place (GIP) content and gas-adsorbed ratio are crucial parameters for resource potential assessment, sweet spot prediction, and production strategy optimization. Various methods have been proposed from different perspectives to evaluate these parameters; however, none have been widely accepted. The carbon isotope fractionation (CIF) model provides a powerful tool for clarifying the mechanism of isotopic fractionation during natural gas transport and evaluating key parameters of unconventional gas resources. In this study, five shale samples from the Longmaxi Formation in the Jiaoshiba area, Sichuan Basin, China, were subjected to canister degassing experiments to investigate degassing behaviors and their variations in the isotopic compositions of methane (δ13C1), ethane (δ13C2), and carbon dioxide (δ13CCO2). The results showed that the degassing volume (rate) and isotopic fractionation amplitude (slope) of methane positively correlate with the TOC content after controlling the lost time. The released ethane was more enriched in 12C than methane and did not fractionate during degassing, resulting in an increased isotope reversal. The δ13CCO2 exhibited complex fractionation features corresponding to later stages (stages III and IV) in the general pattern. Furthermore, we evaluated the GIP content, gas-adsorbed ratio, and in-situ Langmuir parameters (VL and PL) using the CIF model. The calculated GIP content ranges from 3.48 cm3/g to 7.29 cm3/g with an average of 5.32 cm3/g, and the gas-adsorbed ratio is between 13.87% ~ 43.75% (average 30.79%). The optimized VL and PL show an excellent correlation with TOC content, demonstrating the great advantage of the CIF model in evaluating Langmuir parameters. Compared with the CIF model, the traditional USBM method underestimated shale gas resources in the Jiaoshiba area by 2% ~ 22%, with an average of 11.5%.

Imperatives of Efficient Use of Land and Resource Potential of the Agricultural Enterprises of Ukraine

The article considers the institutionalization of land relations and the imperatives of efficient use of land and resource potential of agricultural enterprises of Ukraine. Within the institutionalization of land relations, the methodical approach to complex estimation of effective use of land and resource potential of agricultural enterprises is substantiated, by definition of an integral indicator of efficiency (quantitative and qualitative characteristics of involved resources, productivity and efficiency) of basic kinds of activity of economic entities on agricultural lands. Indicators of transparency in the assessment of land and resource potential and indicators of land policy according to the level of their use in agriculture are proposed. Comprehensive criteria for assessing the components of the efficiency of the use of land and resource potential of agricultural enterprises are presented. The amount of rent for land shares and the amount of fertilizer application per 1 ha of sown area of agricultural enterprises of Ukraine are analyzed. The productive capacity of natural and potential yields for grain and legumes (excluding corn for grain) in Ukraine has been determined. The normative monetary value of 1 ha of arable land in rural areas is calculated on average for one region of Ukraine, adjusted for the natural yield of cereals and legumes, without taking into account the application of fertilizers. The forecast level of technical, social and economic efficiency of the use of land and resource potential of agricultural enterprises is presented

Geothermal resource potential assessment of Erdaobaihe, Changbaishan volcanic field: Constraints from geophysics

Abstract Geothermal resources occurring in the Changbaishan volcanic field are directly or indirectly controlled by volcanic activity and exhibit a close correlation with deep-seated faults. Energy and thermal transfer are generally controlled by groundwater circulation and hot gas emission. This article considers the detectability of hot water and gas by geophysical methods. The controlled source acoustic magnetotelluric (CSAMT) and radon (222Rn) gas methods give straightforward information on electrical resistivity and natural radon emissions, respectively, to assess the geothermal condition. The CSAMT method detected five-banded low-apparent resistivity bodies (decreasing from 3,000 to 300 Ωm), indicating that there exists a high degree of water-bearing capacities in the subsurface. The radon (222Rn) gas concentrations were monitored in two rapid growth zones: one zone showing values ranging from 3,000 to 23,000 Bq/m3, and the other with values from 4,000 to 24,000 Bq/m3. These changes demonstrate that the heat energies available in these areas were very high and that there is potential for geothermal resources in those zones. Combining with previously published data from geothermometry and geothermal drilling, we argue that there is great potential in Erdaobaihe for geothermal exploitation and that the geothermal resource type should be classified into uplift mountain geothermal system no magma type.

The linkage between renewable energy potential and sustainable development: Understanding solar energy variability and photovoltaic power potential in Tibet, China

The accurate pattern of systematic assessment of regional-level solar energy resource potential including seasonal variability and annual trends is essential during renewable solar energy project development. Understanding the linkage between solar energy potential and photovoltaic (PV) development is of particular interest to developers and financers. However, a dearth of long-term, high-resolution solar radiation data makes these patterns and linkages challenging, and thus techniques to improve these characterizations are of great value. To improve knowledge of the renewable energy potential and sustainable development, we assessed high-resolution global surface solar radiation (SSR) dataset derived from remote sensing, and explicitly linked spatio-temporal pattern of solar energy potential across different timescales and PV development in Tibet using geographical statistics methods. With the framework, we provided an intuitive SSR mapping and more than 330 kWh/m2 of PV power potential was predicted in most areas of Tibet. We found spatio-temporal heterogeneity of solar energy seasonal variability: The SSR variation is less than 26% in most areas of Tibet in spring and summer, greater than 30% for autumn and winter; while the middle reaches of Yarlung Zangbo River remains at a low level. We also found PV power was not affected by SSR annual trends in most areas of Tibet during 2000–2016, ranging from −2 to 2 kWh/m2 per year. Additionally, we identified the mismatch between solar energy potential and PV development, characterized by a low average PV installed capacity with affluent solar energy potential, unstable power generation and a high light abandonment rate for PV. The main challenges facing long-term strategic development plans for solar PV was also assessed. Framework and findings herein provide a helpful guide to those responsible for making better decisions in some of the key stages of solar energy development at local and regional scale.

Enhancing the Fertilizer Value of Cattle Manure Using Organic Resources for Soil Fertility Improvement: A Review

The poor quality of cow dung in Ghana resulting from the opportunistic feeding mode of cattle impedes its adoption due to high quantities needed for application. This calls for nutrient optimization of cattle manure with inexpensive locally available sources of organic inputs that could enhance its quality. Though large volumes of crop residues and other agro-wastes are produced on-farm, they are underutilized and mostly a nuisance. Major food crops take approximately, 44 %, 42 % and 56 % of the total nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), respectively and are found in crop residues. There is therefore the need to develop appropriate technologies for utilizing agro-wastes by transforming them into useful “resources” with potentially available plant macro and micronutrients. Common agro-wastes in Ghana include cocoa pod husk (CPH), palm kernel cake (PKC), cattle manure (CM) and poultry manure. Hence, this review sought to explore the use of crop residues and agro-minerals to improve the quality of manure and consequently its fertilizer value for soil fertility improvement and increased crop yield. The review presented an assessment of resource potentials of some crop residues and local agro-mineral as a means of enhancing the quality of CM. Using published data, the review has identified that PKC, rock phosphate (RP) and CPH have high potential for improving the N, P and K contents of CM, respectively. In conclusion, it recommends the need to extensively explore the potential of other commonly available organic resource materials for their efficacy to improve the fertilizer value of cattle manure.

Non-Wood Forest Resources: Significance and Problems of Resource Potential Assessment in the Framework of Sustainable Forest Management

In the world practice, legislative and scientific literature, the concept of «non-wood forest resources» is widely and comprehensively used. In this regard, the article clarifies the concept. The issues of the significance of these resources for society in obtaining various benefits, resource potential for regions involved in economic relations, in increasing the revenue base of the regional budget, and the need for its assessment are considered. The problems of assessing the resource potential of non-wood forest resources that arose at the level of legislative regulation of normative legal documents: the Forest Code of the Russian Federation and forest management documents are considered. Their imperfection and paradoxical situation of discrepancy between some provisions of normative documents are noted. The reasons that block sustainable forestry and forest management in solving the problem of conducting and obtaining an assessment of the resource potential of non-wood resources are identified. The necessity of further sustainable use of the forest resource potential of wild plants as a factor of life support of society, development of forest territories and effective forest management is substantiated. Proposals were made to address the problematic issues of assessing and obtaining statistical data on the resource potential of non-wood forest resources.

Wind Resource Potential Assessment and Implication for Climate Change Mitigation: The Case of Bale Zone, South Eastern Ethiopia

Wind power assessments as well as forecast of wind energy production potential are key issues in the wind energy industry. One of the necessary conditions for the development of wind power generation is to choose the optimal site. Alternative energy plays a great role for climate change mitigation, environmental protection and sustainable development. The objective of this study was to assess the distribution of wind resource based on WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model and its implication on climate change mitigation in Bale zone, south eastern Ethiopia. In this study, one year wind speed and wind direction at 6- hour intervals at a height of 10, 50 and 100 m were used. The data source is National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). In addition observational wind speed and wind direction data from National Meteorological Agency (NMA) of Ethiopia from ground based stations were used. The analysis result of the NCEP and NMA data by downscaling the model to 20 km by 20 km spatial resolution enabled to map the wind resource potential sites of Bale Zone applicable for wind mill installation. This study showed that most of the Bale zone areas have significant wind power potential to augment its current power generation. The analysis result revealed that wind resource potential is high during summer than winter season. Have a potential of installed 10,329MW wind capacity in Bale zone. If this potential wind resource will installed, so far environment as an estimation of about more than 5 thousand hectare of forest land per year would be preserved, and subsequently, equivalent amount of about 66,294 of CO 2 would be stored per year.

PRODUCTION AND USE OF BIOENERGY RESOURCES OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR OF UKRAINE ON THE BASIS OF SUSTAINABILITY

The article deals the analysis of production and consumption of bioenergy resources in agriculture. It is established that the assessment of resource potential is carried out with regard to the following energy trilemma: decarbonization, energy security and affordability, which significantly increases the interest in alternative fuels derived from renewable sources. In order to achieve sustainable development in the context of providing businesses with affordable and clean energy, national indicators relevant to the agricultural sector have been developed. Biomass production utilizes both land and human resourse to a greater extent than any other renewable energy technology, and can create sustainable supply chains. It has been proven that the use of biomass improves the supply and access to energy at the local and national levels, but also reduces waste disposal, provides an alternative use of biomass or fossil resources. It is noted that the main products of biomass processing are solid and liquid biofuels, biogas. Ukraine's energy strategy 2035 suggests an increase in the use of biomass in energy generation up to 11,5 %, and the main stimulus for growth is the use of green tariff. Biomass production requires the largest amount of land resources compared to other alternative sources. It limits the use of sown areas for food crops in favor of bioenergy crops. In particular, the raw materials for the production of bioethanol in Ukraine are sugar, starch crops and cellulose materials, which are converted into the final product by alcohol and sugar factories. Biodiesel production is not widespread enough, and more than 95 % of the gross harvest of rapeseed and soybeans used for its production in 2019 was exported. In the structure of solid biofuels, agricultural waste, in particular straw, stalks and husks, has the greatest potential for the use. Thus, biomass is an alternative energy resource that creates significant prospects for sustainable agriculture, but wholesale energy tariffs need to be revised to take into account external factors that consider insurance risks and increased environmental taxation, which is low in Ukraine.

FORMATION OF THE TOURIST AND RECREATIONAL FOREST POTENTIAL: METHODOLOGICAL AND STRATEGIC GUIDELINES FOR SYSTEM ASSESSMENT

The current state of spatial and territorial development of recreational nature management in Ukraine is characterized by the fact that the country has significant natural resource potential, unique recreational resources, as well as a valuable natural reserve fund. This proves that the possibility for further development and forestland use for recreational purposes, and the formation of spatial-territorial recreational systems with the involvement of forestlands can be widely developed. At the same time, this is a prerequisite for the active development of market relations in the field of recreational and tourist management, since the diversity and uniqueness of forest resource potential creates the opportunity to gain competitive advantages in using separate recreational resources that will provide high demand and prices for them. From these perspectives, the purpose of the paper is to deepen economic assessment of recreational forest resource potential for ensuring the formation of territorial forest resource assets (natural capital) in the context of strategic guidelines for sustainable forestry spatial development. The main principles of formation of the territorial and recreational forest resource potential (capital) have been considered in this paper. Also, it should be taken into account that, at present, the methods of economic (cost) estimation of certain types of natural resources, which are involved in economic activity and recreational activities, are well-developed and widely used. Therefore it should be noted that the problem of an integrated system assessment of territorial forest resource capital is relevant for the recreational use of forest lands, since it is necessary to evaluate, as far as possible, and more fully, all of its components, for the effective decision-making in the management mechanism. The scheme of the system assessment of the territorial and recreational forest potential (TRFP) has been developed and represented. The main objectives of ecosystem management of forest areas in the context of providing balanced recreational forestland management have been determined. It was concluded that comprehensive and system assessment of recreational forest resource capital based on the application of the natural capital methodology and the concept of total economic value (value) should become an effective lever in the market-oriented mechanism of forest management in the spatial and territorial format. The article identifies theoretical and conceptual guidelines for system assessment of territorial forest capital in the context of spatial development strategies.

ECOSYSTEM ASSETS OF THE COMMUNITIES NATURE PROTECTED TERRITORIES: APPROACHES TO THE ASSESSMENT

The paper proves the need to reform the system of ecological management of protected areas of communities on an ecosystem basis, taking into account the general processes of decentralization and European integration. It is noted that the main problems of adequate assessment of local natural resource potential of communities, in particular the assessment of ecosystem assets of their protected areas, are related to the imperfection of the general methodology of its implementation and the relevant regulatory framework. It is emphasized that the achievement of the goals of sustainable spatial development at the local level is ensured via full mobilization of all types of local resources, e.g. in protected areas, in particular by taking into account the value of ecosystem assets and ecosystem services produced by them in the interests of local communities. It is shown that economic assessments allow to substantiate the economic efficiency of investments in the environmental complex in order to preserve biodiversity, compare the costs and benefits of ecosystem services, as well as calculate the amount of compensation payments. It is determined that the process of assessment of ecosystem assets of territories is a measurement of the total monetary value of ecosystem-related goods and services in the region, i.e. the assessment of ecosystem assets is primarily to assess the ecosystem services produced by these assets. As a result of the study, successive stages of developing an algorithm for assessing ecosystem assets of protected areas of communities with the definition of the main structural components of assessment: valuation of ecosystem services produced by assets of protected areas, using a combination of relevant assessment methods and valuation component of the total local ecosystem asset of a particular territorial community. The calculation of the total value of ecosystem assets of protected areas of communities on the example of Blagodatnenskaya OTG of the Pervomaisky district of the Nikolaev area is executed. Proposals for optimizing the use of ecosystem assets of protected areas of communities have been developed.

Application of frequency division inversion in the prediction of heterogeneous natural gas hydrates reservoirs in the Shenhu Area, South China Sea

Drilling results suggest that the thickness of natural gas hydrates (NGHs) in the Shenhu area, South China Sea (SCS) are spatially heterogenous, making it difficult to accurately assess the NGH resources in this area. In the case that free gas exists beneath hydrate deposits, the frequency of the hydrate deposits will be noticeably attenuated, with the attenuation degree mainly affected by pore development and free gas content. Therefore, the frequency can be used as an important attribute to identify hydrate reservoirs. Based on the time-frequency characteristics of deposit deposits, this study predicted the spatial distribution of hydrates in this area using the frequency division inversion method as follows. Firstly, the support vector machine (SVM) method was employed to study the amplitude versus frequency (AVF) response based on seismic and well logging data. Afterward, the AVF response was introduced as independent information to establish the nonlinear relationship between logging data and seismic waveform. Then, the full frequency band information of the seismic data was fully utilized to obtain the results of frequency division inversion. The inversion results can effectively broaden the frequency band, reflect the NGH distribution, and reveal the NGH reservoirs of two types, namely the fluid migration pathway type and the <i>in situ</i> self-generation self-storage diffusion type. Moreover, the inversion results well coincide with the drilling results. Therefore, it is feasible to use the frequency division inversion to predict the spatial distribution of heterogeneous NGH reservoirs, which facilitates the optimization of favorable drilling targets and is crucial to the resource potential assessment of NHGs.

Assessment of Land Resources Potentials for Orientated Agriculture Land Use in Ham Thuan Bac district, Binh Thuan province.

Land resources potential assessment is a valuable method for orienting land use planning in the world as well as in Vietnam.The objectives of the study are (1) to assess land suitability and (2) to orient the effective use of agricultural land in the study area. Results indicated that Ham Thuan Bac has 107 land mapping units (LMU), in which includes 11 land-use types (LUTs) such as rice, corn, cassava and sweet potato, sugarcane, grass for livestock, vegetables, green dragon fruit, rubber, coffee, and other fruit trees. Agricultural land with high suitability (S1) and moderately suitable (S2) for mostly LUTs is small, however, marginally suitable (S3) and not suitable land (N) are quite large. More than 50% of the LUTs for growing rice, rubber, coffee, other fruit are not suitable; the remaining LUTs have unsuitable land ranging from 10.76% to 25.16% of agricultural land in the district. Based on land suitability classification, we propose to keep 8550 ha with S1, S2, and a part of S3 area to be irrigated for cultivating rice; 9071.7ha of dragon fruit land including 694.67 ha of S1 and 8377.03 ha of S2 land; and only cultivate annual crops, fruit trees and grazing grass on the land with suitble levels from S1 to S3 of the current status.The remainingareas ofS3 and N for riceand areas of S2 and S3for green dragon fruit under S2, S3with active and semi-active irrigation regimeswill be converted to annual crops and fruit trees and grass for livestock.

Assessment of Natural Resource Potential of the Landscape of Mongolia (Based on Agricultural Production Resource)

The landscape contains a variety of different potentials that can perform socio-economic and ecological functions, since landscapes are surface patterns that differ in appearance, environmental components, and their spatial distribution and location. The natural resource potential of the landscape refers to the ability of a landscape to provide society with the raw materials and natural resources, which are required for manufacturing products in the society. The natural resource potential of the landscape can be estimated based on mineral resources, forest resources, agricultural production resources, hunting, and tourism or recreation resources. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the natural resource potential of the landscape based on agricultural production resources. This research was carried out with combined methodology, which involved market price method that was used for assessing agricultural production resources with a GIS-based analytical hierarchy process that was used for developing the potential assessment. The analysis of the spatial distribution map of the natural resource potential of the landscape showed that 41.0 per cent of the area studied had “average” potential, while 34.8 per cent had “low” potential and 19.4 per cent had “high” potential. However, only 2.3 per cent of the area had “very high” potential in terms of potential assessment, whereas, almost the same amount of area (2.5%) was assessed as with “very low” potential. Evaluating the natural resource potential of the landscape, based on agricultural production resources, is important as fundamental information for further research, such as developing a concept of regional economic development and evaluating ecosystem services.
