Landscape maps for monitoring and evaluation of ecosystem services in strict nature reserves of Russian Altai
The paper describes the capabilities of landscape cartographic analysis based on the structural-genetic principle to monitor and evaluate biotic cultural, regulation and maintenance ecosystem services in Russian Altai nature reserves. A solutions to a wide variety of practical problems from complex ecological monitoring and landscape indication to studying the hydrological functions of geosystems, paleogeographic reconstructions, and territorial distribution of animals are proposed on the basis of landscape maps.
