The results of integrated landscape mapping at different levels and scales (global, regional, local) are presented. The relationships between physical environment, land use practice, and degree of landscape modification were studied for various arid regions. A hierarchical concept for the organization and mapping of land units, developed at Moscow University, is applied to particular land use mapping problems of arid lands, e.g., of environmental destruction in the Aral Sea region, monitoring landscape changes in Iran.
