The principles in studying the natural and technogenic dynamics of Siberia's landscapes

Conceptual-methodological approaches in understanding the dynamics and tendencies of directional changes in landscapes include a universally recognized top priority approach, i.e. the functional-integration principle of temporal observations of self-regulation processes occurring in the case of an inter-component exchange of substances. Our main concern is with the migration-accumulation mechanisms of spatial differentiation of chemical elements. Experience is examined, which has been gained from experimental studies of the technogenicgeochemical transformation of landscapes under the influence of pollutants emission from industrial facilities of two types. We summarize the research results obtained according to the following pattern: monitoring, indication of disturbances, forecasting, and regulation of technogenic loads on the natural environment. On the whole, the case in point is that modern complex geography is switching over to a level of experimental investigations of the territory.
