Description
Summary:The article presents the results of landscape differentiation of the territory of the state nature complex reserve “Ichalkovsky Bor” (Nizhny Novgorod region), performed at the hierarchical level of landscapes and stows. The research territory lies in the forest-steppe zone, and characterized by a rugged karst topography relief, high biological diversity, which determined its complicated landscape structure and great environmental and recreational importance. In 2020 it was decided to organize a geopark, based on the state nature complex reserve Ichalkovsky Bor. All these circumstances determine the high demand for the landscape zoning scheme, which is necessary for the effective organization of environmental and recreational activities. In the course of the research, 4 landscapes were identified, which included 33 kinds of stows. The work was carried out on the basis of field researches, conducted in 2015-2020, materials of remote sensing of the Earth, thematic maps, literature data, processed using GIS.
