Mapping biodiversity on the basis of the integrated environmental approach is a special direction in the system of overview maps of nature. This approach can be implemented basing on the concept of biomes. Biomes entered the practice for biogeography studies, as the highest zonal ecosystem level when considering the biosphere as a whole. The new map “Biomes of Russia” (scale 1:7,5 m) is the first experience to display the patterns of spatial differentiation of biotic cover at the regional level.The main characteristics of biomes are presented directly on the map: 1) the structure of zonal and altitudinal belt vegetation and animal population; 2) parameters of climatic conditions–mean annual temperature, total temperature sum (Σt > 10°) and the average annual rainfall (climate-diagram); 3) the number of plant species (vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens) and number of animal species (terrestrial vertebrates: mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians).
