MONOGRAPHIC PUBLICATIONS
The monograph summarizes estimates of the average annual balance of the main greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) in terrestrial ecosystems of different types of the Russian Federation. The estimates were made using the “bottom-up” method, i.e. based on data from ground measurements and research using a geoinformation approach and statistical materials. This is the first time such a comprehensive assessment has been carried out in our country. Previous studies focused only on individual ecosystems or were based on expert suggestions or top-down modeling, which did not allow them to fully judge the extent of their correctness. This paper provides quantitative uncertainty values for all greenhouse gas fluxes under study. As a preface, a critical analysis of the results obtained for ecosystems of different types is given and the full annual balance of greenhouse gases in Russia is summarized, taking into account both natural and anthropogenic fluxes of greenhouse gases. It has been shown that with a high degree of probability Russia is a net source of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The monograph is aimed at identifying the most “problematic” issues that require further scientific work to clarify the balance of greenhouse gases in ecosystems.
The book is addressed to a wide range of scientists, specialists in the field of ecology, climatology, soil science, forestry and agriculture, teachers and students, decision makers at the federal and regional levels.

The book is a biogeographical overview of 35 lowland biomes, which are displayed on the scientific reference map “Biomes of Russia”, published in a series of nature maps for higher education. Concepts and approaches to the classification of terrestrial ecosystems and compilation of map legends are outlined. Data on the biodiversity of ecosystems, flora and fauna of regional biomes is provided. Their comparative geographical analysis gives an idea of the connection between environmental conditions and quantitative characteristics, reflecting the current state and degree of knowledge. In practical terms, a unified scientific basis is provided for obtaining further knowledge about the biodiversity of biomes at the species and ecosystem levels, to justify environmental measures, which has a broad prospect for application. For specialist geographers, biologists, ecologists and a wide range of readers interested in the nature of Russia and the prospects for its conservation.
The publication of the monograph is timed to coincide with the 90th anniversary of the famous scientist, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Yuri Antonievich Izrael. The book summarizes the main results of the work of leading specialists from a number of institutes of Roshydromet, carried out in 2008-2014. under the leadership of Yu.A. Israel and devoted to theoretical and experimental research into the possibilities of stabilizing the Earth’s global climate using geoengineering methods. The monograph is printed in its original version, but in preparation for publication the authors carried out editorial work and updated the results obtained in accordance with modern scientific ideas, and added links to subsequent publications of the authors on the topic of the monograph.
The monograph examines the trends and dynamics of environmental pollution in the Russian Federation over a ten-year period from 2007 to 2016. The results of an analysis of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the country’s natural resources, as well as certain aspects of the socio-economic situation, are presented. An assessment of the state and pollution of the environment in urbanized areas is given, highlighting priority problems such as pollution of atmospheric air, fresh surface water and soil cover, as well as the generation of industrial and consumer waste. The work separately examines the natural and anthropogenic preconditions of the environmental situation associated with changes in anthropogenic load on the territory. A geographical analysis of the negative anthropogenic impact on the territory of Russia by constituent entity and federal district is given, highlighting the territories with the most unfavorable environmental conditions. The monograph is intended for the general public, scientists and environmental practitioners.
Methane is one of the main greenhouse gases. The increase in its content in the atmosphere during the industrial era, along with the enrichment of the atmosphere with carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, contributed to modern greenhouse warming. The paper describes natural and anthropogenic sources of methane, its historical and modern concentrations in the atmosphere, the mechanism of increasing the greenhouse effect with increasing concentrations, possible scenarios for changes in global emissions and global methane concentrations over time, and the possibility of reducing its anthropogenic emissions into the atmosphere. The information presented in this book is based on scientific publications, as well as the authors’ own developments.

ATLAS
Atlas of water resources and their quality according to Roshydromet monitoring data…
[2019]
The publication presents a set of information cartographic materials on the quantity and quality of water resources of freshwater bodies of the Russian Federation, indicators of the negative impact on them in the federal districts of Russia and their constituent subjects of the Federation. The publication was prepared by the Federal State Budgetary Institution Institute of Global Climate and Ecology named after Academician Yu.A. Israel” (IGKE) based on the results of monitoring by Roshydromet using materials from the Federal State Budgetary Institution “State Hydrological Institute” (GHI), the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Hydrochemical Institute” (GHI), the Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography (Rosreestr) and the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) . Atlas materials are an important element of information support for state supervision and control of water resources and their quality in the territories of federal districts and constituent entities of the Russian Federation, and the annual presentation of the electronic version of the Atlas will improve the efficiency of ongoing measures to improve the environmental situation in the Russian Federation.
Atlas of the East Ural and Karachay radioactive traces, including forecast until 2047 / Ed. Yu.A. Israel. – M.: IGKE Roshydromet and RAS, Infosphere Foundation – NIA-Priroda, 2013. – 140 p.

Livantsova, A.A. Uspin.
The atlas is a fundamental, comprehensive scientific and reference work characterizing the contamination (retrospective, current state and forecast) of the territory of the Southern Urals with long-lived dose-forming radionuclides that persist for a long time in landscapes and are included in the life and functioning of ecosystems. Mapping of radioactive contamination is based on field research with soil sampling and subsequent radiochemical analysis (for strontium-90, plutonium isotopes-238, -239, -240) and gamma spectrometric analysis for cesium-137. The objects of research are: the East Ural radioactive trace and the Karachay radioactive trace, the floodplains of the Techa and Iset rivers. Reference materials on the environmental situation in the area affected by the Mayak Production Association are provided.
