DIFFERENTIATION AND SPATIAL MODELING OF THE LANDSCAPE DIVERSITY OF SUHOBLATSKA WETLAND SYSTEM

Abstract:
The goal of the article is to present the main spatial projections and morpho hydrographic characteristics of the Suhoblatska wetland system near the village of General Kolevo, Dobrich region. The research is first geographical investigation of this region. Taking into account the component features of the region, a differentiation of landscapes and specific landscape units is realized. The characteristic and analysis of the morpho-hydrographic peculiarities clearly reveals the morpho-structure of the wetland with well-defined morphographic elements. Landscape diversity of the region of the Suhoblatska system of wetlands is dominated by hydromorphic and subhydromorphic landscapes. In the territories adjacent to the wetland, a type of Plain, temperate semiarid landscapes is defined, with a subtype Steppe and forest-steppe (Dobrudzhian), including two types – Plain, denudation erosive and accumulative with steppes and Plain, denudation-erosive and accumulative with forest-steppe, occupied by agriculture land with the adjacent transport infrastructure. Two spatial models are created – 1. Reconstruction model of the Sukhoblatska system of wetlands based on the multi-scale topographic maps from different time periods and 2. Model of landscape diversity of the Sukhoblatska system of wetlands.
