Abstract
The system-geophysical approach to solving a triad of debatable problems in landscape science and geoecology, namely: 1 — substantiating the structure of the formation mechanism for geographical landscape integrity; 2 — selecting quantitative indices for assessing the differentiation of landscapes in potential intensity of matter transport, and 3 — substantiating the notion of complex ecological indicator of the quality of functioning and development stability of landscapes. The law is formulated in relation to geographical landscape integrity as the universal manifestation of the triunity of the geophysical (radiation-gravity-hydrothermal), component and geochemical structures with the system-forming role of the geophysical system of landscapes.
