Abstract

The landscape structure of natural dune complexes is given on the example of the Curonian and the Vistula Spits. The main natural factors determining the transformation of the Eolian coastal-marine natural complexes (NC) were considered. Original techniques are presented with a view to assessing the digression, the potential and integrated (modified) resistance of eolian coastal-marine natural systems considering their natural features, the current state resulting from a long-term influence of natural and anthropogenic factors, determining the direction and progress of the evolutionary transformation of the Spits’ landscapes, as well as the peculiarities of their use. Spatial differentiation of the Eolian coastal-marine natural complexes was fulfilled by indicators of digression and sustainability. The morpholithodynamic changes in the coastal sea zone were assessed at key sites of the Curonian and the Vistula Spits, using the technology of surface laser scanning. The historical preconditions were considered, and the present-day nature management at the Curonian and the Vistula Spits was analyzed as well as areas of its optimization.
