Abstract
Among the numerous adverse processes related to the soil and the environment is the soil salinization, which affects more extended areas posing a real global problem. This chapter presents a new soil salinity map, which was compiled with the aim of specifying the information on geographical distribution and peculiar features of soil salinization in the vast areas of the Russian Federation. The new map of soil salinity as well as the map of chemical composition in salinization at a scale of 1:2,500,000 allowed identifying the main regularities in geographical distribution and genesis of salt-affected soils in Russia. This information helps to give the comparative characteristics of soil salinization in different regions of the country.
