Użytkowanie ziemi jako czynnik krajobrazotwórczy na obszarach lessowych

The differences between forest and agricultural loess landscapes are presented in this paper. Structure and functioning of the landscape-system were taken into account. The conclusions have been based on the results of landscape research conducted in the Nida Basin. All components of the landscape were examined, with the special focus on soils which were treated as the indicator of the landscape condition. Differences found in structure and functioning of forest and agricultural landscape open the question of making changes in the methodology of the loess landscape classification.
