Nature-Agricultural zoning of Ukraine
Northern part of Ukraine is a forest zone (Polissia), predominated with pine and oak trees. Forest-steppe zone, which is just south of the forest one and is more capable of sustaining agriculture. Steppe zone is situated in southern and eastern Ukraine. This zone is the most suitable for intensive agriculture. It is obvious that land use intensity and principles are unique for each zone.

Hello,
I am writing from Manitoba Education. We are currently developing a Grade 3 Ukrainian curriculum that will be distributed online, and would like to include copies of the four maps you have posted at https://biomodel.info/training-package/ukraine-nature-agricultural-zoning/.
Can you tell me how I can get permission to use this material?
Thank you,
Grant Moore
