Landscapes of the Buffer Zone of the Baikal Natural Territory

Abstract
The article discusses the natural features of the buffer ecological zone of the Baikal natural territory. They are associated with the impact of the Baikal rift zone and the Angara-Vitim granitoid batholith. It is established that the research area is characterized by significant contrasts of land- scapes, which are confined to various tectonic structures. It was revealed that in the areas of the impact of large active faults, along which the influx of endogenous heat is recorded, the landscapes of the Middle Siberian, Central Asian and Amur-Sakhalin physico-geographical regions have developed. The Siberian cedar was found to be confined to the areas of development of acidic granites. It is established that the spatial differentiation of the landscapes of the research area is determined not so much by latitudinal zonality as by the manifestation of tectonic processes and the associated stages of development of the natural environment and landscapes.
