I. Baydikov. ECONETWORK: FEATURES OF JUSTIFICATION, CREATION AND STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES AS A COMPLICATED SPATIAL STRUCTURE

Paper reviews features of eco network justification as a spatial structural entity, which combines natural and, to a different degree, altered landscape complexes – land and water based.
