Abstract
Agro-landscape and ecological zoning of the Far Eastern Natural and Economic Region is being developed in order to provide information for regional, landscape and ecologically differentiated agriculture for rational nature management. 162 zoning units were allocated, including 9 large units (the Arctic, Arctic Tundra, Tundra, North Taiga, Middle Taiga, Sparse forests and woodlands of Kamchatka, Far Eastern taiga forest, Far Eastern zone of broad-leaved forests and Mountainous territories), 32 medium (19 plain and 13 mountain provinces) and 122 small units (60 plain and 62 mountain districts). A database of land resources has been developed. It includes the following indicators: the distribution of land by administrative and agro-landscape-ecological division of the territory, the structure of land, assessment of the condition of land. It describes all the selected units of agro-landscape and ecological zoning by land. Agricultural lands are located mainly on flat territories in the southern part of the Far East and occupy 8,014.1 thousand hectares, or 1.3% of the total area. 0.5% is occupied by arable land, 0.4% each falls on hayfields and pastures. Significant negative processes affect agricultural lands as follows: acidic soils (66%), waterlogging (22%), swampiness (23%), susceptibility to water and wind erosion (11%).
