The Former Soviet Union has a rich agricultural heritage. In 2003 our project set out to develop a Russian-English Agricultural Atlas that covers the area of the Former Soviet Union. Scheduled to be completed in 2009, the Atlas will illustrate the historic distribution of economic plants and their pests in this important region of the world.
The Atlas is being compiled by a team of Russian scientists who are reviewing historic and current literature, herbarium specimens, and seed and insect collections. The Atlas will be released on a DVD-ROM and will be interactive; consisting of maps, biological descriptions, illustrations and reference lists that can be queried and combined with our built-in user-friendly GIS interface.
