Abstract

The article is devoted in the short history of formation of landscape in Moscow Meshchyora National park, its modern using of resource and perspectives of possibility of restoration. The territory of the Moscow Meshchyora National park locates on the flexure of the crystalline foundation of Russian platform of Moscow syneclise. The Jurassic clay, sand, silts (thick massive 20-40 m), has been made up sediments, which were formed the conditions of the warm sea. The Pleistocene glaciers occupied the North territories of West Meshchyora. The boundary between frozen and wetland crossed the basin of the Klyazma river. The supply of water to the glacier margin in which the considered territory formed of phase transition of ice from a solid to liquid state was so large that the plains were filled with the water were being reformed in the plains. There were fined solid particles, formed the spacious accumulative plains composed of pebbles, gravel and stratified sands, washed out from glaciers or ice caps by glacial malt waters. Sediments lay down around. Thick glacier?s sand sediments are reaching nearly 10-30 m.The glacier lakes and basin of wetland were reformed in the boggy territory withdifferent forests. Now the large glacial lakes and valleys of wetland transformed into peatlands with pine forests and pine-fir forests.
