Comparison of structure of mountainous environments of Loch Coruisk Valley (Skye, Scotland) and the Five Lakes Valley (the Tatra Mountains)

Implementation of GIS methods in environmental research enables an efficient analysis of structure of environment, which is highly labour-intensive and quite troublesome while using traditional methods. This paper presents results achieved in a research carried out in two alpine environments: The Five Lakes Valley of The Polish Tatra Mountains and Loch Coruisk Valley, Skye, Scotland, conducted with the help of GIS and statistical methods. Analysis of structures of the rehearsed environments was based on recognition of pat tern of geocomplexes, which allowed for: indication of dominant and subordinate, stable and fragile geocomplexes in researched ecosystems, determination of neighbourhood of geocomplexes, comparison of frequency and strength of relationships between geocomponents in different types of geocomplexes and assessment of biodiversity of the researched environments. Landscape pat tern was used for elucidating geoecological processes and prediction of fur ther environmental changes.
