“…The quantity of carbon stored in the vegetation and the soils of all Russian natural areas amounts to 336 Gt (40 Gt in the vegetation and 296 Gt in the soil), or 16 % of worldwide reserves-in spite of the fact that Russia occupies only 11 % of the land area of the earth (Zavarzin and Kudeyarov 2006).…”

This paper focusses on a conceptual overview of ways to address a comprehensive analysis of ecosystem services (ES) in a country as large and heterogeneous as Russia. As a first step, a methodology for assessing the services for the federal subjects of Russia was chosen, i.e., its constituent provinces and similar entities, in physical terms. Russia harbors a great diversity of natural conditions and ecosystems which are suppliers of ES, and likewise a variety of the socio-economic conditions that shape the demand for these services and their consumption. The methodological approach described permits several important tasks to be addressed: the evaluation of the degree of satisfaction of people's needs for ES, the identification of ecological donor and acceptor regions, and zoning of the country's territory for ES assessment. The next step is to prepare a prototype of a National Report on ES in Russia, for which we are presenting the planned structure.

“…One of the major carbon sinks is confined to soils of northern Eurasia with its vast areas of tundras, wetlands, and boreal forests. These ecosystems are characterized by the retarded destruction of plant residues under conditions of a cold and humid climate [12]. The territory of Russia comprises 1/8.5 part of the land surface.…”

“…The territory of Russia comprises 1/8.5 part of the land surface. According to expert estimates, the soils of Russia contain about one-fifth of the world pool of soil carbon [12]. More accurate and reliable estimates of the total pool of organic matter in the soils of Russia and its geographic distribution are of great importance for modeling.…”

“…The reasons for this are as follows: (1) in most of the soils, 90% of the total pool of organic carbon allocated in the first 1 m deep, despite of the entire soil profile reaching sometimes the depth of 2 m or more; (2) the carbon turnover mainly takes place in the upper soil layer; it is less pronounced at the depths of more than 1 m because of poor soil aeration and changes in the hydrothermic conditions retarding the rates of the organic matter mineralization; and (3) the existing soil maps are usually based on soil profile information with factual data on the organic carbon content to the depth of 1 m [12].…”

Abstract-An automated information system making it possible to estimate spatial distribution of soil organic carbon pool with a high spatial resolution (1 km) has been developed. According to the obtained estimates, the total pool of organic carbon in the 1-m-deep soil layer on the territory of Russia reaches 317.1 Pg; the average organic carbon density in this layer for the entire Russia constitutes 19.2 kg C/m 2 . Of this amount, 14.4 Pg (or 0.90 kg C/m 2 ) is stored in the litter horizon. The developed algorithm allows us to refine the results with the acquisition of new data on soils, vegetation, and the degree of their disturbance, which is particularly important in the changing world.
