The ecological condition of landscapes of the Grodno region by the value of geoecological coefficient was assesed, identifying spatial and taxonomic features of the ecological state of landscapes and features of their protection in the protected areas system of the region. The dependence of the ecological state of the landscape on their species, subgenera and genera was analyzed. The representation of different landscapes in the protected areas system was evaluated. From the genera of landscapes in the worst environmental condition are secondary-moraine, kame-moraine-erosion, lacustrine-glacial and moraine-lacustrine landscapes; from the subgenera — landscapes with surface occurrence of lacustrine-glacial sands and sandy loams, with a surface occurrence of lacustrine-glacial loams and clays and with a cover of loess-like loams from the species — large hilly and hilly-wavy. At all hierarchical levels, from genus to species landscape there is an imbalance between the ecological condition of the landscape and level of its representation in the protested areas system of the Grodno region. Landscapes in favorable ecological condition are represented to a much greater extent than landscapes in crisis and disaster ecological state, which are often non-existent in the protected areas.
