This is the first environmental history of Russia s steppes. From
the early-eighteenth century, settlers moved to the semi-arid but fertile
grasslands from wetter, forested regions in central and northern Russia
and Ukraine, and from central Europe, By the late-nineteenth century,
they had turned the steppes into the bread basket of the Russian
Empire and parts of Europe. But there was another side to this story.
The steppe region was hit by recurring droughts, winds from the east
whipped up dust storms, the fertile black earth suffered severe
erosion, crops failed, and in the worst years there was famine.
analyses how naturalists and scientists came to
understand the steppe environment, including the origins of the
fertile black earth. He also analyses how scientists tried to understand
environmental change, including climate change. Farmers, and the
scientists who advised them, tried different ways to deal with the
recurring droughts: planting trees, irrigation, and cultivating the soil.
Most sustainable, however, were techniques of cultivation to retain
scarce moisture in the soil. Among the pioneers were Mennonite
settlers. Such approaches aimed to work with the environment,
rather than trying to change it by planting trees or supplying
more water artificially.
The story is similar to the Dust Bowl on the Great Plains of the
USA, which share a similar environment and environmental history.
David Moon also places the story of the steppes in the
wâder
context of
the environmental history of European colonialism around the globe.
