INFLUENCE OF AGRICULTURAL USE ON SPATIAL DYNAMICS AND DEVELOPMENT OF HIGHLANDS WITHIN SUBALPINE HIGH MOUNTAINS OF THE CARPATHIAN NATIONAL NATURE PARK.

The impact of agricultural load on the spatial dynamics and the development of highlands within the subalpine high mountains of the Carpathian National Nature Park has been defined. The influence of natural phenomena on the intensity of anthropogenic use and the level of the degradation of the territory has been revealed. It has been shown that agricultural loads facilitate the degradation processes within the upper forest limit. Today, agricultural loads within the limits of Chоrnohora landscape do not only take one of the leading positions, but they are determinative in its most sensitive areas – within the territorial systems of subalpine highlands. That is why, in order to conduct a scientifically substantiated optimization of nature in the National Park, it is essential to define the current state of the systems loaded by anthropogenic use and the tendency of their development in space and time. Another problem facing the park is that these subalpine territories mostly belong to protective and strict protective ones. Having such a status, these territorial systems need special attention to be paid to the conservation of the organizational mechanisms, which are responsible for their proper functioning.  That is to say, there is a need to find a reasonable balance between the protective functions and the necessity of the anthropogenic exploitation (first and the foremost that is agricultural load) of Polonyna geosystems in the first pace. Thus, the object of our investigation is the territorial systems of the Carpathian National Nature Park, which are under the influence of agricultural use. The subject of our research is the properties of the territorial systems under study and the processes, which direct their spatial and time development.

Key words: spatial dynamics of highlands, agricultural use, Polonyna territorial systems, anthropogenic dynamics.
