- Description:
- Wetlands of Russia, from the Land Resources of Russia project. Wetlands are defined in this dataset as wet (bordering on water saturation) areas intermediate between land and water (Considine and Considine, 1994). They are the ecosystems that include sea surface, lakes, rivers, coastal vegetation, bogs, and alluvial and delta complexes. Wetlands play an important part in landscape stabilization, natural environmental cleaning, the traditional land use of small groups of people, and biodiversity conservation. The wetlands of Russia have a large complex of ecosystems. Three general groups of wetlands are recognized, organized by their ecosystem types and location in the landscape: marine, inland, and anthropogenic (ponds, canals, irrigation lands, meadows).For more information, visit http://www.iiasa.ac.at/Research/FOR/russia_cd/eco_des.htm.
