Abstract

Abstract The ecological‐geographical mapping of the high‐latitude areas of Russia that has been carried out was based on ranked evaluations of the physical degradation of the environment under the impact of man's activities. The ranking scale was constructed using a matrix that took into account various types of anthropogenic stresses. This approach allowed us to present with an adequate degree of contrast three major blocks: the severely degraded land areas of North European Russia; the lightly developed areas of the north of East Siberia and the Far East; and an intermediate zone in the north of West Siberia where development has occurred with nodal and linear concentrations.
