Abstract

The article is focused on some features of the landscape structure of the Kuchak Carbon landfill in the Tyumen region. The research area is located 35 km northeast of Tyumen City in the subtaiga subzone and covers the area of 106.7 km2. As part of the research, the authors have complied a landscape map using the QGIS freely distributed geographic information system (version 3.32). Eight types of terrain have been identified within the research area: terraces (85 landscape units), mineral islands (one landscape unit), lake terraces (23 landscape units), raised bogs (one landscape unit), mesotrophic bogs (five landscape units), lowland eutrophic swamps (nine landscape units), and floodplains (one landscape unit). The study also revealed anthropogenic landscapes (ten units). The information obtained as a result of inventory and subsequent mapping of landscapes on the morphological structure of natural complexes may serve as the basis for further spatial modeling of ecological processes at the Carbon polygon. A promising line of further research is the integration of the landscape approach and the analysis of special parameters, including measurements of radon volumetric activity in soil, greenhouse gas fluxes, and other biophysical indicators. The findings testify to the efficiency of GIS technologies in studying the spatial organization of landscape   complexes in terms of the carbon balance monitoring.
