The long-term results presented are from investigating the landscape structure in the south of the Lena-Katanga plateau (Yarakta oil, gas and condensate field). Given the regional patterns, characteristics of climate and relief, differentiation of vegetation and soils, especially the modern use of the area structural-dynamical characteristics have been revealed. On the basis of satellite imagery and field observations we had drawn a landscape map, scale 1 : 80 000, which in the future will serve as the basis for assessing the sustainability of the landscape of the territory.

Key words: ландшафтная структура, динамика, ландшафтная карта, антропогенное воздействие, Иркутская область, нефтегазоконденсатное месторождение, landscape structure, dynamics, landscape map, anthropogenic influence, Irkutsk region, oil, gas and condensate field
