A detailed study was carried out of the diurnal states (in spring) of elementary natural territorial complexes in four landscapes in the Avadkhar river valley (Kolkhid physical geographical area). Each of the mountainous landscapes has a very wide spectrum of simultaneous diurnal states. Four gradings of spatial correlations between states were distinguished. A structural/dynamic scheme was compiled showing the states of natural territorial complexes on two opposite slopes. In combination with a landscape map, it serves as a model of the state of the landscape. The main characteristics of landscape states were distinguished.-translated by P.Cooke
