Abstract
Georgia is a very interesting country in respect of the biological and landscape diversity. There are two classes, 20 types, 40 sub-types, and 71 genera of landscapes in Georgia. The distribution of the landscapes in different regions of Georgia is also extremely uneven. General overview of basic landscape types, landscape diversity, virgin landscapes, phytoresources of the landscapes, and anthropogenic transformation of the landscapes are discussed in this chapter.
