Становлення і розвиток ландшафтно-геохімічної екології

Abstract

The issue under study is the development of landscape geochemical ecology in Ukraine, namely landscape study. The main stages of the development of landscape geochemical ecology as a part of landscape ecology have been analyzed. The emerging research trends have been singled out, being a result of ecology-oriented approach to landscape study. A list of publications on man- caused pollution of landscape elements, i.e. free air, soils, waters and vegetation, is given. Less detailed is the presentation of integrated research of man-caused pollutants in landscapes. Workingout of theory, namely geochemical regulation, geoecological estimation, forecasting etc. would have been instrumental, as well as an integral conception of complex assessment of anthropogenic environment. Some work must be done to elaborate methods of landscape geochemical ecology, ecological testing, geochemical zoning in ecology, etc.
