Abstract

Summary

The article presents the results of field research and mapping of negative degradation processes affecting the high-mountain landscape complexes around Nesamovyte Lake, one of the main recreational and tourist sites in the Chornohora massif of the Ukrainian Carpathians. Using specialized geographic information system (GIS) software, a map of degradation hotspots in high-mountain geocomplexes was developed, highlighting impacts such as shrub cutting, littering, trampling, and other negative influences on landscape elements. The study identified and mapped over 1,5 hectares of degraded areas within a 100–130 meter radius around Nesamovyte Lake in the cirque bottom. The cartographic material also represents the current landscape structure of the studied area and the manifestations of ongoing hazardous physical-geographical processes.
