The book systematically combs the regional differentiation laws of natural elements such as landform, climate, hydrology, soil and vegetation in the Russian plains. On the basis of reviewing the history of zoning research at home and abroad, it deeply discusses the zoning units at all levels such as geographical zones, provinces, and districts. The basis for division and discrimination criteria, and carries out demonstration comprehensive zoning of typical areas such as the central black soil area. At the methodological level, the author focuses on analyzing the genetic principles in regional division, the relationship between landscape and zoning concepts, and the hierarchical system of regional units, which provides a useful reference for deepening the theory and improving the method of natural geographical zoning research. This book can be read and used by scientific researchers and university teachers and students in the fields of physical geography, regional planning and land resource management.
