Територія НПП "Олешківські піски" представляє собою унікальний для Європи ландшафт псамофітних різнотравно-злакових степів, піщаних дюн (кучугур) та листяних гайків у міжкучугурних зниженнях. У статті значна увага приділена геоморфологічним комплексам мезо і мікрорельєфу, що виникли внаслідок діяльності вітру на території Нижньодніпровських (Олешківських) пісків, їх генезису.
Territory of National Nature Park "Oleshky sands" has a unique for Europe psammophytic landscape of forb-grass steppes, sand dunes and leafy groves in relief"s descents.
National Nature Park "Oleshky sands" is located on two sandy massifs, and their surrounding areas, on the left bank of lower Dniper River. Those massifs are called - Kozachelagerskyy and Chalbasskyy. Oleshky sands formed by the movement of the Dniper River to the west, under the influence of the coriolis force, and sandy alluvial sediment deposits. In ancient times, Dniper (Borysphen) river entered the Black Sea at the place which is now called Karkinitskyy Gulf. Geological basis of modern landscapes of the territory of National Nature Park "Oleshky sands" consists of sand"s and loess deposits of middle and upper Pliocene and partly Miocene. There are different types of relief in the park; it can be flat, &undulating, hilly and bumpy. The most popular forms of relief on the territory of this park are ancient alluvial and modern aeolian. Modern alluvial and ancient aeolian relief"s forms are not that popular. Also it is typical for this area to have mez&oforms and microforms, such as blowing basins, spits, dunes and etc. The peculiarities of this area are inter "passes" - decreasing valleys.
One of the main goals of the NNP "Oleshky Sands" is the organization and implementation of research studies &of natural complexes and their changes, also development and implementation of scientific advice on management and efficient use of natural resources, etc. The article devotes much attention to geomorphologic complexes of meso- and microrelief which &resulted from the wind activity on the territory of Nyzhnodniprovski( Oleshky) sand. Article also tells about the genesis of the sands.
Территория НПП "Олешковские пески" представляет собой уникальный для Европы ландшафт псаммофитных разнотравно-зла&ковых степей, песчаных дюн (бугров) и лиственных небольших рощ в междубугорных понижениях. В статье большое внимание приделено геоморфологическим комплексам мезо и микрорельєфа, возникшим вследствие деятельности ветра на территории Нижнеднепровских (&Олешковских) песков, их генезису.
