摘要：Non-forest habitats are important landscape elements, which build network of the territorial system of ecological stability. Results of habitat mapping can be used for planning activities in the landscape, which are based on assessment of natural environment, as landscape planning, integrated management of the landscape, territorial system of ecological stability, sustainable development of the region etc. This contribution is focused on evaluation of existing approaches to habitat assessment and comparison of criterions and indices, which have been used for habitat assessment. Finally we suggested four the most important criterions and their environmental limits for sustainable development of the landscape: species richness, naturalness, stability and nature conservation significance.
