The V.R. Williams Federal Research Center for Agricultural Research has developed and possesses unique up-to-date information on land and natural forage resources in Russia. The information was obtained as a result of agro-landscape and ecological zoning, the main direction in the adaptive intensification of agriculture. Throughout the Institute's history, the zoning of natural forage lands has remained one of the main areas of fundamental and priority applied scientific research carried out according to Government assignments. In a number of regions, the creation and development of regionally, landscape, and ecologically differentiated new varieties, technologies, and systems of adaptive agricultural intensification based on agrolandscape ecological zoning, rational management of agrolandscapes and forage production are being implemented. It's a big team effort. More than 60 scientists of the V.R. Williams Scientific Research Center, scientists of the Lomonosov Moscow State University and more than 30 scientists from different regions of Russia are co-authors of monographs, production recommendations and articles on the results of zoning. The main contribution to the development of agro-landscape and ecological zoning was made by scientists from the Laboratory of Geobotany and Agroecology of the V.R. Williams Federal Research Center under the leadership of Doctor Geographical Sciences I.A. Trofimov.
