Results of the study suggest that the recruitment of the proposed qualitative and quantitative parameters of lowland-foothill landscapes of the Northeast Caucasus be placed on separate classification unit. This conclusion is based on an analysis of the conditions of formation and functioning of landscapes and nature of climatic conditions contact foothills.
