Abstract
The representativeness of the federal network of nature protected areas (PAs) (108 state reserves and 66 national parks of the Russian Federation) in terms of soil diversity was calculated based on the Soil Map of the Russian Federation (1 : 2.5M scale) by using geoinformation analysis. The composition of the soil cover was analyzed for groups of genetically similar soils. The areal and typological representation of soil diversity in PAs in 2022 was evaluated in comparison with the corresponding indicators in 2012. Currently, 2.6% of the soil cover area in Russia is preserved in federal nature protected areas, which is 0.7% higher than ten years ago. The areal representation of mountainous soils in PAs has increased to the greatest extent. In general, the soils of the mountainous territories and the soil cover of the Arctic are quite well represented in PAs, contrary to the soil cover of southern regions: steppes, dry steppes, semi-deserts also as saline and alkaline soils. The representativeness of the federal protected areas network in terms of the typological diversity of soils is 63%, which is 7% higher than in 2012. The diversity of the smallest soil group (subtropical soils) is fully protected. The level of protection of natural soil diversity for taiga and coniferous-deciduous forests increased by 13% over the decade and reached 75%. The situation of protection of steppe soils has improved: the representativeness index has increased by 10% and is at 48%. Representation of the saline and alkaline soils diversity, considering solonetzic complexes, in state reserves and national parks remains very low (20%).
