Functioning of Landscape Complexes of the Southern Buh River Basin

Abstract

The study of the exchange of matter, energy and information between landscape complexes in the riverbed and floodplain can be carried out in two aspects: as a manifestation of paragenetic relations (if they are common in origin) and as a manifestation of paradynamic (if they are adjacent but different in genesis). In paragenetic landscape complexes, the main role is given to the “central place”, in relation to which the direction of mass and energy flows between the components of the system is determined. There is an active connection between channelfloodplain paradynamic landscape complex and the adjacent valley-watershed divide landscapes, which determines the functioning of the basin paragenetic landscape complex. Taking into account the peculiarities of such relationships will enable effective implementation of regional environmental policy in the Southern Buh basin.
