Abstract

A geo-ecological study of the set of territorial structures of natural resource use in Russia at various levels of spatial hierarchy is conducted. The volumes of natural resources extraction are calculated by regions. It is shown that the concentration of impacts on nature is bigger than the concentration of industrial production. Graphical models of Russian regions, reflecting the relationship between mineral resource extraction, industrial production, and industrial waste, are constructed. The basic environmental parameters of regional natural resource use, such as water consumption and wastewater, atmospheric emissions, and disturbed land, are analyzed. An ecological map of Russia is drawn with the use of a new methodology, reflecting the contamination of more than 300 cities.
