How to read this table
The breakdown by row identifies which factors require the most intensive human intervention. It allows for a comparison between land area restored after mineral extraction and areas affected by hydrocarbon transport accidents. This helps assess the structure of environmental remediation efforts and identify the primary sources of soil degradation across Russia
What is visible in these numbers
Highest values: Total (121,376), during other works (71,756), during logging (44,206). The gap between the highest and lowest is 892.5 times
Observations are annual, with 5 observation periods in the dataset. There are 125 values in the table out of 125 possible, i.e. 100%; data gaps are virtually absent

Period and application
Annual updates as part of environmental monitoring allow for tracking work volumes in hectares from 2019 to 2023. This information is useful for ecologists, land management specialists, and representatives of the extractive industries to assess the effectiveness of environmental protection measures.
