Regional coordination of field verification and ground data collection:
Andrey Laletin (Krasnoyarsk), Anatoliy Lebedev (Vladivostok), Alexander Yumakaev (Barnaul).

Development of software for the ground data database; data entry:
Sergey Dylyuk, Nikolay Shchenin (Moscow).

Reception, selection, primary processing and geo-referencing of satellite images from the scanners MSU-E and MSU-SK of the Russian satellite Resurs-O1 series was performed by the R&D Center ScanEx. On the basis of these images, ScanEx identified vegetation communities associated with large blocks of intact closed forest.

Map design and general layout by Dmitry Aksenov, Ilya Belov.

The English text was scrutinized by Eric Glick.
