Abstract

On the basis of the analysis and synthesis of inter-component and inter-landscape correlation, considering deep roots of pericontinental dichotomy, orographic, climatic, and phytovegetative factors, the nature is reflected as an average-scale model of Sakhalin Oblast, including individual landscapes, types, kinds, subclasses, classes, districts, provinces and territories. The regional landscape differentiation and organization of natural environment was mapped at the scale of 1: 500 000. The obtained data can be used for a multistage analysis of correlations among landscape geosystems different in scale (global, regional, local) and structure. On the whole, the organized system is a basic model aimed at various natural interrelations in Sakhalin Oblast in the Pacific pericontinental landscape belt. The application of this kind of geosystem model through landscape method and on condition of continuing geosystem studies is of a great potential for solving of numerous tasks of various profile, including nature use, environmental, managerial, forecasting, etc.

Keywords
