Purpose. To identify the peculiarities of the landscape complexes of the regional landscape park (RLP) «Murafa». Methods: theoretical generalization, systematization of facts, finding of empirical relationships, analyti-cal and cartographic analysis, cartographic, logic, field. Results. Forest-steppe upland landscapes are widespread on the territory of RLP Murafa. Within them sloping, floodplain, floodplain-terrace, watercourse and plakor terrains are well-defined. The tracts of slopes of different steepness with oak-hornbeam forests on chernozems podzolic and dark grey podzolic soils, with mead-ow steppes on deep low humus chernozems, tracts of limestone and granite outcrops have been preserved in the sloping areas. Meadows of different levels and humidity, black alders, willows, sedge thickets are typical tracts of floodplains. The tracts of flat surfaces with oak-hornbeam forests on dark grey podzolic soils and chernozems podzolic were common in the past in the structure of floodplain-terraces areas. Aquatic areas of shallow and deep places are distinguished in watercourse areas. Aquatic tracts of islands, rapids, shivers, the central watercourse, shallow watercourses and branches, bays were formed on the shallow areas. The tracts of central deep water, central shallow water and coastal shoals were formed on the deep places. The tracts of convex areas of actual watersheds with meadow steppes groupings on typical shallow low-humus chernozems are allocated on plakors. The tracts of slightly sloping surfaces of watersheds and ravines with dark grey podzolic soils under oak and hornbeam forests also were common here in the past. Conclusion. While creating RLP "Murafa", mainly integral natural complexes of river valleys were in-cluded. It was found that the landscape structure at the local level is dominated by sloping areas. The least com-mon are plakor areas. It was discovered that rural residential, meadow-pasture agricultural, mining, forest and water anthropogenic landscapes were formed on the place of natural tracts of the park due to the process of anthropogenization.

The Azov paradynamic landscape system is characterized by an extraordinary variety of processes and phenomena of interaction between contact contrast media. One of the groups of such processes is chemogenic. Their diversity within the Priazov Paradynamic landscape system is extremely high on land, in the water area of the sea and in the “water-air”, “water-bottom”, “water-land” contact strips. In this regard, the role of chemogenic processes in the course of modern coastal processes and the formation of landscapes of the coastal zone of the sea is significant. They also determine the specifics of many parameters of the Priazov Paradynamic Landscape System.Purpose. The article discusses processes of chemogenic origin occurring in the coastal zone of the sea within boundaries of the Azov Sea paradynamic landscape system. Most of these processes are taking place at the main contact borders like “water-air”, “water-bottom”, and “water-land”. Results. The processes of salt exchange, migration of biogens and gas exchange are considered. It was revealed that chemogenic processes are an essential component of the entire variety of interactions in the coastal zone and are important for its functioning. The processes of aerosol transport of chemical elements and salts from the sea surface onto land and vice versa by atmospheric land-surface flows were analyzed. Characteristics of air saturation with marine salts from the surface of calm water and characteristics of aeolian transfer of salt crystals from the bottom of dried-up bodies of water were considered. The article also pays attention to the features of transfer of pollutants, in particular within seaport areas. Conclusions. Chemogenic processes in the coastal zone define its specific structure, functioning and the result thus being manifested in the development of characteristics of landscape systems such as humidification, salinity, chemogenic migration of substances, healing properties of sea air, high rates of biological productivity.
