Ecological assessment of relief and climatic parameters on the basis of GIS of forest-landscape complexes of the south-eastern part of the Greater Caucasus

The forest-covered areas of the south-eastern part of the Greater Caucasus can be divided into three soil-ecological regions or forest formations, which differ from each other in relief, climate, soil and vegetation. These are: hornbeam-beech-oak mesophilic forests of the middle mountains; lowland oak-hornbeam xerophyte forests; Arid forests with low mountain juniper composition Ecological points of forest formations spread in the area were found using price scales and final quality points of soils in accordance with the ecological requirements of plants in the south-eastern part of the Greater Caucasus.
