“…Under the FEHL, any Russian citizen could apply for and receive for free one hectare of federal or republican land in these regions, similar to the Homestead Act of 1862 in the United States. However (and despite protests against the giving away of land in the Sakha Republic, the largest republic in terms of territory), the law made it clear that the land rights would be revoked if significant improvements to the land had not been undertaken within five years (Belolyubskaya 2021). In tandem with the political issues presented by the law (including the ability of regions to define their own property rights regimes), the FEHL once again underlined how vast swathes of Russian territory are seen as the property of the state, to give and take away as needed.…”

Highlights• The legal basis of the market economy in Russia is the 1993 Constitution and the 1995 Civil Code. • Both documents have been amended since being originally introduced to reflect political changes in the country. • In most instances, the original strong protections have been watered down to make room for political decisions. • The changes in Russia's legal regime regarding the market economy have thus allowed for much more room for state intervention than was desired by reformers in the early 1990s.

Climate change will exacerbate land conflict between agriculture and timber production

Timber and agricultural production must both increase throughout this century to meet rising demand. Understanding how climate-induced shifts in agricultural suitability will trigger competition with timber for productive land is crucial. Here, we combine predictions of agricultural suitability under different climate change scenarios (representative concentration pathways RCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5) with timber-production maps to show that 240–320 Mha (20–26%) of current forestry land will become more suitable for agriculture by 2100. Forestry land contributes 21–27% of new agricultural productivity frontiers (67–105 Mha) despite only occupying 10% of the surface of the land. Agricultural frontiers in forestry land occur disproportionately in key timber-producing nations (Russia, the USA, Canada and China) and are closer to population centres and existing cropland than frontiers outside forestry land. To minimize crop expansion into forestry land and prevent shifting timber harvests into old-growth tropical and boreal forests to meet timber demand, emissions must be reduced, agricultural efficiency improved and sustainable intensification invested in.
