Abstract
Siberia is a current research area with a relatively well-preserved natural environment, indigenous structures of geosystems, but also with a high number of anthropogenic disturbances and great prospects for economic development of natural resources. Long history of development of modern landscapes in Siberia has left its footprint in the composition of modern natural complexes. Siberia is the result of a unique combination of natural-geographical, historical, and socio-economic factors. The results of human activity impact on the environment constitute the main factor in the formation of modern landscape structure of Siberia. The consequences of the 400-year period of intensive economic development of the natural-resource potential (since the arrival of Russian population to the region) are manifested in the dynamics of geosystems, expressed in the replacement of natural state complexes with the transformed complexes.
