Abstract

The paper discusses the principles of developing a hierarchical system of units for zoning the coastal zone and shelf of the World Ocean based on bionomic (ecosystem) features are discussed. A number of scientific and applied problems require zoning of ecoregions (sea basins) at the regional and topological levels. A system of units is proposed, taking into account the zonal, depth-related, and azonal features of ecoregions. The main initial unit of bionomic zoning is the underwater landscape. As an example of regional and topological zoning, the morphological structure of landscapes of three districts of the Japanese coastal region of the Sakhalin orogenic region of the Japan Sea is considered. The hierarchical system of units of bionomic zoning makes it possible to identify landscape analogues. In practical terms, this zoning may help to predict the introduction of useful species and forecast the risk of invasion by harmful species.

世界海洋沿海地区和大陆架生物区划原则

摘要

本文讨论了基于生物（生态系统）特征开发用于划分世界海洋沿海地区和大陆架分区单位的分层系统的原理。许多科学和应用问题需要在区域和拓扑级别对生态区域（海盆）进行分区。考虑到生态区域的区域性，深度相关性和区域性特征，提出了一个单位制。生物区划的主要初始单位是水下景观。作为区域和拓扑分区的一个示例，考虑了日本海萨哈林造山带的日本沿海地区三个地区的景观形态结构。生物区划单位的分层系统使识别景观类似物成为可能。实际上，
