INTRODUCTION TO EXPERIMENTAL GEOECOLOGY: RESULTS OF A SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY

摘要

The article presents the author's concept of experimental geographical ecology and describes its corelandscape ecologyas well as the author's empirical-statistical models and derived ecological-geographical concepts, which reveal the mechanisms by which landscape-ecological systems form at the regional and local levels, their natural and anthropogenic dynamics, and evolutionary trends. Landscape-ecological analysis is carried out with specific examples involving a large body of factual material and applying methods that empirically imitate calculated forecasted situations.
