Development of A.M.Ryabchikov’s scientific ideas in recent studies of the school of physical-geographical and landscape-ecological research of the world
The scientific school of physical-geographical and landscape-geoecological research of the world was formed under the leadership of Professor A.M. Ryabchikov, whose centenary is celebrated in 2018. The main areas of research are physical-geographical analysis of terrestrial natural landscapes; study and mapping of natural-anthropogenic (or present-day) landscapes; analysis of natural resources and agronatural land potential; study of natural-anthropogenic processes in the environment. These lines of research laid a foundation for landscape-geoecological studies, including the assessment and forecast of the state of the world’s landscapes under global change.
