Land use/cover change in steppe zone of Russia
Land Use/Cover Change (LUCC) in steppe zone of Russia was studied using a combination of remote sensing and in‐field data collection to allow different landscape level interpretation of land cover changes.Geographical scaling of LUCC investigation were taken into consideration, thats is very important for Russia where the steppes represent wide (1,5 thou km) latitudinal zone to the south of 55033.N in‐between broad‐leaf forested and semi‐desert zones, going further to the south in other countries‐Kazakhstan and Mongolia.The West Siberian part of steppe zone is much narrower and represented generally by forest‐steppe stripe ‐a temperate‐climate habitat type composed of grassland interspersed with areas of forest.The steppes are characterized by high level of biodiversity with significant decreases from the west to the east and from the north to the south.
