Abstract
Landscape-bionomic zoning reveals the effect of hydrological and geomorphological links of the physical-geographical process on the bionomic differentiation of the Barents Sea floor. The polar front separates the Arctic water masses and communities from the subarctic ones; under the influence of warm Atlantic Current branches, extrazonal boreal biomes are formed. The geomorphological structure represents the lithogenic basis that determines the formation of bionomic types of the Barents Sea floor. It was established that each geomorphological region corresponds to one macrozoobenthos group.
