Anthropogenic Transformation of Landscapes and Ecological Risk Factor Assessment

Abstract

All components of the landscape (especially living nature) are affected by anthropogenic effects, which disrupts the relationships established between them over a long geological time and ultimately leads to a change in the natural complex, which in most cases is of a negative nature and determines its degradation. Ecologically, anthropogenic transformation of wildlife is particularly harmful, which is carried out by taking advantage of the unreasonable, reckless nature of man, which is based on a purely consumerist spirit. When human society affects nature, a new variety of natural-territorial complexes is formed - anthropogenic complexes, which currently occupy a significant part of the terrestrial part of the entire earth. It originated with human society and will exist if there is mankind. Therefore, the essence of anthropogenic landscapes, its features, regularities and tendencies of development, productivity; Also, issues of sustainability, its potential opportunities and protection against external influences are one of the main tasks of geographical science.
