Modified method for assessing stability of landscape complexes

A modified method of assessing stability of landscape complex is developed, taking into account the degree of interaction of this complex with the environment. Stability criteria are compared with numerical characteristics of a qualitative assessment of the level of correspondence of the complex properties and characteristics of the environment. To obtain the initial information we should use a statistical method of expert assessment with the justification of this choice for this type of tasks. The subsequent statistical processing of the obtained initial data on the properties of the landscape complex makes it possible to obtain a quantitative characteristic of the degree of stability of the complex. The proposed method considering the degree of integration of landscape complex into the natural environment significantly improves the accuracy of the stability assessment, which helps to reduce the number of errors in its construction and operation as well as to improve the accuracy of forecasting the life periods of landscape complexes. The main provisions of this method can be used in constructing a factorial model of a landscape complex.
