Abstract

The history of Russian steppe science is examined in the paper; its main stages are identified. The goals of steppe science as a specific interdisciplinary field of knowledge about the steppe are designated taking current stage features into consideration. The authors are sure that the steppe ecological restoration is the goal of constructive steppe management, i.e. the assemblage of methods and techniques of reproduction of productive steppe landscapes. Two essential features of the steppe, high dynamics and demand for self-renewal, are ascertained and examined with both idealized and constructive models of the steppe. The elaboration of steppe agrarian landscape rotations based on natural-anthropogenous agro- ecological frameworks is proposed to be the number one pri-ority of constructive steppe management.

Keywords

general steppe science, constructive steppe management, convergence, steppenomy, agrarian landscape rotation, agroecological framework.
