Abstract
The paper describes the method and algorithm for creating the sketch-maps of hydrolandscapes to solve practical tasks of forecasting and controlling the number of mass species of blood-sucking insects such as gadflies and mosquitoes. The hydrolandscape method consists in dividing the regions into zones by content, distribution and conservation of moisture as the most important ecosystemic component. The method evaluates the influence of insufficient or excessive moisture content on the life activity of amphibiotic insects. Landscapes similar by moisture content, relief, mesoclimate, soils, vegetation and groups of blood-sucking insects are combined into hydrolandscapes. This method has been applied for different regions of the North-West of Russia (the Novgorod, Leningrad and Pskov Regions), as well as for the Komi Republic. The paper illustrates this experience. Using the hydrolandscape method, the specialists can forecast the species composition and relative abundance of blood-sucking insects in remote areas before they get developed by humans.
