  1. Soil of Russia in Global Programs Vladimir Stolbovoy1 Luca Montanarella1 Freddy Nachtergaele2 1European Soil Bureau, EC Joint Research Center, Ispra; 2United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, Rome. Conference: ““Scientific Session on Fundamental Soil Science” ” Moscow State University, 30 November-2 December, 2004

  2. Outline • Need for Russia to be seen globally. • Soil of Russia in global projects: • Global (revised FAO); • Intercontinental (Circumpolar Soil database); • European and Northern Eurasia (SOVEUR; ESDB). • Land resources of Russia. • What is next?

  4. Mosaic of changes in temperature and precipitations (source: IPCC, 2001) Patterns of warming Patterns of wetting Changes have great spatial diversity and do not following climate zones in Russia

  5. Russia representation in global soil collections Global soil sampling (Batjes et al, 1996) New EU Soil Database (Stolbovoi et al., 2001)

  6. Underestimate of carbon reserves in soils of Russia Soil carbon pool (based on Stolbovoi, 2002)

  7. EURASIAGlobal Land&Environment Resource Analysis Customers: International Agencies and programs Product: CD-ROM Circumpolar Soil Database Collaboration: Canada, USA, Northern Europe, and Russia Applications: Arctic Monitoring, Carbon mitigation strategy in permafrost zone IIASA International. Inst. for Applied Systems Analysis Soil Vulnerability in Central&Eastern Europe Collaboration: FAO, Netherlands and Central&East European Countries Customers: FAO, UNEP, EEA European Soil Database Collaboration: ESB, Belorus, Moldova, Russia, and Ukraine Applications: European Crop Growth Monitoring, Carbon sequestration potentials, Land&Environment analysis International Programs IUSSS International.

  8. 49% new 39 % same FAO, 1988 12 % renamed Reproduction of national soil typological units (STU) in International systems * 1:2.5 M soil map **1:5 M soil map

  9. World soils • 1995 FAO produces a CD ROM with a global vector map and derived soil properties with a 5’ x 5’resolution as raster. • 1998 FAO-UNESCO re-issues the digital version with derived soil properties More information on this product is available at http://www.fao.org/WAICENT/FAOINFO/AGRICULT/AGL/lwdms.htm

  10. Eurasian soils More information on this product is available at http://www.fao.org/WAICENT/FAOINFO/AGRICULT/AGL/lwdms.htm

  11. Central and Eastern European soils More information on this product is available at http://www.fao.org/WAICENT/FAOINFO/AGRICULT/AGL/lwdms.htm

  12. Circumpolar soils

  18. Reclassification Reclassification Re-association ST Database WRB Database Conversion Conversion Correlation as a tool to transfer soil information

  19. What is next: Soil Atlas of Europe

  20. What is next: EU-SOIL COMMUNICATION 2002 (COM(2002)179) • “Towards a Thematic strategy for Soil Protection” • Definition of: • - 5 Soil Functions • Food and other biomass production • Storing, filtering and transformation • Habitat and gene pool • Physical and cultural environment for humankind • Source of raw materials • - 8 Main Threats to Soil • Erosion • Decline in organic matter • Soil contamination (local and diffuse) • Soil sealing • Soil compaction • Decline in soil biodiversity • Salinisation • Floods and landslides
