Аннотация:The main goal of sustainable land management (SLM) is long-term harmonious coexistence ofhuman beings and nature to provide and maintain ecosystem services. SLM practices and technologies provide flexible, adaptive solutions to rapidly changing environmental (e.g., climate change and extremeweather events), social (e.g., migration), and economic (e.g., changing markets) conditions. One of the main aspects of sustainable land management is the development of approaches to prevent and reduce land degradationthrough soil and water conservation technologies. The world’s leading area and diversity of naturalzones make Russia a unique site for application of various SLM practices. The described practices are actively applied and implemented in Russia, in almost all federal districts. Analysis of the diversity of modern SLM technologies and approaches in the Russian Federation allows us to identify three main groups of methods,which can be defined as SLM practices: practices of conservation agriculture (most common in the steppe and forest–steppe zones), land hydromelioration (typical for the nonblack earth zone), and land phytoreclamation,actively developing in the degraded lands of southern part of Russia. Analysis of the dependence of SLM practices on the nature of soil cover and agroclimatic conditions predicts positive results of their implementationin regions with similar environmental and geographical characteristics.DOI: 10.3103/S0147687422050027
