THE MAPPING OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS AND THE ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

Abstract

Relevance. The article discusses the concept of adverse and dangerous phenomena, their classification according to a set of reasons, according to the number of victims, the issues of creating overview maps, the stages of mapping the stability of geosystems and their components. The author proposes to single out maps of the stability of the landscape as a whole and its individual components (atmosphere, surface water, soil, etc.), and maps of stability in relation to anthropogenic impacts in general and to specific types of impacts. He also draws attention to the features of mapping at various scales of the integral stability of landscapes. Sustainability can be defined as the potential of a given natural system to maintain its original mode of operation. Different types of landscape-geochemical systems have different resistance to certain anthropogenic influences. In the most general sense, resilience is the ability of geosystems to withstand anthropogenic impacts. The stability of landscapes (geosystems) can also be defined as resistance to physical and chemical disturbance (for example, elements of the morpholithogenic base, soil), and self-recovery (for biota) after disturbances of a certain extent and speed.
