Abstract
Spatial patterns of various measures of agricultural land use intensity are analyzed for the European USSR. In aggregate, these patterns serve as a basis for the identification of six subregions, the potentials and problems of which are described. Levels of overall fixed assets in agriculture show a pronounced gradient in the European USSR between high values (northwest) and low values (southeast), a trend which differs somewhat from the gradient of natural potential (high values south, low values north). Intraoblast differences in land-use intensity between suburban and more peripheral locations in the Nonchernozem Zone also are pronounced (translated by Andrew R. Bond).
