The article presents an algorithm of quantitative assessment of the mechanisms of geocomponental (monosys-tein) landscape organization. The degree of geosynergy of monosystem landscape structures is expressed by the partial measure of closeness of interrelations between different geocomponental attributes. It was established that natural landscapes and all geosystems of higher orders (zones, provinces, domains) are characterized by generalh low mean statistical values of closeness of componental interrelations and a narrow range of their variation. That is main condition for the manifestation of landscape polymorphism. It is described two tipes of polymorphism - parametric and territorial. Landscape "projections" with the highest equivalence of geocomponental units are considered by the author as geosynergistic cores of the general monosystem structure of zonal-regional complexes. In the main watershed of the Volga river basin, only 7 such partial landscape structures with the core properties are formed out of 21 possible paired combinations of geocomponental units: thermo-edaphic, oro-edaphic. thermo-productive, edapho-productive, thermo-geochemical, oro-geochemical, edapho-geochemical. The author has prepared a series of maps illustrating the degree of manifestation of partial landscape structures in different kinds of landscapes and in zonal geospaces of the boreal ecotone of Russian plain.
