The concept of paradynamic landscape system in geography

The geographical
area is characterized by its polisystematicy. One
of the landscape systems is paradynamic, which
functionality is caused by contrast of interacting
environments. The problem of landscape and
ecological researches of paradynamic landscape
complexes for a long time attracts the attention of
scientists, researchers by its originality, complexity
and specific approaches to research. Theory of
paradynamic landscape complexes based on a systematic
approach allows considering interacting
contrasting landscape complexes as paradynamic
integrated landscape system.
However, despite the actuality of the outlined
problem, studies of paradynamic complex systems
still remain poorly studied element of landscape
and geography and environmental studies – from
the formulation of terminological and conceptual
apparatus to the practical use of the identified
regularities and interactions. It is explained
by, on the one hand, the very complex nature of
the interaction between natural landscapes and
their components and anthropogenic landscapes,
specific interactions between contrasting environments
and with other – lack of development of methodological basis of landscape and ecological researches of paradynamic landscapes. Difficulties of study of paradynamic landscapes are linked with a significant disperse of primary information regarding to the dynamics of natural and anthropogenic landscapes. Moreover, not all regions (geographical or even administrative) are covered with full-value landscape-ecological researches of paradynamic systems.
