Characteristics and ecological assessment of natural complexes in the central part of the west-karelian upland // Transactions of Karelian Research Centre of Russian Academy of Science. No 2.

Comprehensive description and ecological assessment of the central part of the West-Karelian upland is provided. This area, together with adjacent operating and planned PAs, is the core of the Green Belt of Fennoscandia. It is situated within the most typical Fennoscandian north-taiga landscape. The largest in western Eurasia continent of pristine taiga has survived there, surrounded on all sides by forests at various stages of anthropogenic succession (after clear-cutting). The physiographic features of the territory, state of its flora and fauna are considered in detail, and changes in them induced by human impact are partially assessed. Eventually, we substantiate foundation of nature reserves in the area with regard to the developing PA system of the Green Belt of Fennoscandia and Karelia in general. Arguments are given for utilization of the area as a polygon for ecological landscape planning of multipurpose nature use.
