Russia has more than a fifth of the world's forests, which makes it the largest forest country in the world. Vasily Dokuchaev (1845–1902) is credited with laying the foundations of soil science and Vladimir Vernadsky (1863–1945) is considered one of the founders of geochemistry, biogeochemistry, and of radiogeology and deeply developed the concepts of biosphere and noosphere. Numerous Earth Science journals are published from Russia. Several leading Institution in the country including Russian Academy of Sciences and Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth and others are spearheading the Earth Science research.
