Imaev CATASTROPHIC EARTHQUAKES IN THE ALTAI MTS, THEIR AFTERMATH AND IMPACT ON SLOPE AND FLUVIAL PROCESSES Abstract: The paper presents a study into a catastrophic seismic event rating 9-10 on the international scale MRS-64. The event took place on 27 September 2003 in the Altai Republic of the Russian Fede- ration. Immediately after the event, the authors studied its impact on slope and fluvial processes. Key words: catastrophic earthquakes, palaeoseismogenic structure, epicentre, palsas (bugors), permafrost. 1. Introduction On 27 September 2003, the Upper Altai (Russia) near the border with Mongolia, China and Kazakhstan, experienced one of the strongest earthquakes over the previous 300 years. This catastrophic event has been rated 7.3 in force and 9-10 in intensity of tremors on the international MSR-64 scale. Aftershocks continued for several months, but with progressively reduced power An earlier earthquake of the same strength was recorded in the Great Altai Mountains on 9 December 1761 in Mongolia, when the unloading of tension at the epicentre was ro- ughly estimated at eight units and the intensity of shocks was rated 11 at degrees. This earth- quake was linked with the Palaeoseismogenic structure of Ar-Khutel on the north-eastern slopes of the Mongolian Altai Mountains (Luzgin et al. 2003). A number of researchers regard Ar-Khutel as the largest discovered palaeoseismogenic structure on Earth. The earthquake reverberated causing shocks in the towns of Ust’-Kamenogorsk and Biysk rating six degrees in intensity and at Barnaul and Semipalatynsk rating ca.

    SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV CHOKAN OF WORKS SELECTED SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV Pioneering Ethnographer and Historian of the Great Steppe When Chokan Valikhanov died of tuberculosis in 1865, aged only 29, the Russian academician Nikolai Veselovsky described his short life as ‘a meteor flashing across the field of oriental studies’. Set against his remarkable output of official reports, articles and research into the history, culture and ethnology of Central Asia, and more important, his Kazakh people, it remains an entirely appropriate accolade. Born in 1835 into a wealthy and powerful Kazakh clan, he was one of the first ‘people of the steppe’ to receive a Russian education and military training. Soon after graduating from Siberian Cadet Corps at Omsk, he was taking part in reconnaissance missions deep into regions of Central Asia that had seldom been visited by outsiders. His famous mission to Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan, which began in June 1858 and lasted for more than a year, saw him in disguise as a Tashkent mer- chant, risking his life to gather vital information not just on current events, but also on the ethnic make-up, geography, flora and fauna of this unknown region. Journeys to Kuldzha, to Issyk-Kol and to other remote and unmapped places quickly established his reputation, even though he al- ways remained inorodets – an outsider to the Russian establishment. Nonetheless, he was elected to membership of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and spent time in St Petersburg, where he was given a private audience by the Tsar. Wherever he went he made his mark, striking up strong and lasting friendships with the likes of the great Russian explorer and geographer Pyotr Petrovich Semyonov-Tian-Shansky and the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

Biodiversity Data Journal 5: e21010. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.5.e21010 Abstract Background During a field course on spider taxonomy and ecology at the University of Helsinki, the authors had the opportunity to sample four plots with a dual objective of both teaching on field methods, spider identification and behaviour and uncovering the spider diversity patterns found in the southern coastal forests of Hankoniemi, Finland. As an ultimate goal, this field course intended to contribute to a global project that intends to uncover spider diversity patterns worldwide. With that purpose, a set of standardised methods and procedures was followed that allow the comparability of obtained data with numerous other projects being conducted across all continents. New information A total of 104 species and 1997 adults was collected.

According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, without obtaining the positive conclusion of the state environmental assessment for project documentation the corresponding construction cannot be started. Project documentation on construction of the gas pipeline “Altai” did not arrive to the state environmental assessment of federal level. The order of the Russian Federation Government of August 13, 2013 No. 1416-r become invalid. The Government of Altai Republic has no plans for construction and reconstruction of linear constructions and other capital construction projects in borders of the object of the world heritage. The object of the world heritage continues to work on recommendations of UNESCO 2012 mission. In the territory of the World Heritage, the main violations of special protection order are connected with illegal stay in the territories of the reserves. Monitoring researches of a snow leopard and argali groups are conducted, field researches on identification of a reindeer summer habitats, works on the project "The organization of long-term monitoring system of climate changes and ecosystems of the reserve "Altaisky" are continued in the territory of the World Heritage. The increase of a tourist stream at the territory of the World Heritage is noted. In territories of national parks and natural parks of regional value, informative tourism is dated to the developed ecological routes.

    Blagoev et al. BMC Ecology 2013, 13:44 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6785/13/44 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Spiders (Araneae) of Churchill, Manitoba: DNA barcodes and morphology reveal high species diversity and new Canadian records Gergin A Blagoev1*, Nadya I Nikolova1, Crystal N Sobel1, Paul DN Hebert1,2 and Sarah J Adamowicz1,2 Abstract Background: Arctic ecosystems, especially those near transition zones, are expected to be strongly impacted by climate change. Because it is positioned on the ecotone between tundra and boreal forest, the Churchill area is a strategic locality for the analysis of shifts in faunal composition. This fact has motivated the effort to develop a comprehensive biodiversity inventory for the Churchill region by coupling DNA barcoding with morphological studies. The present study represents one element of this effort; it focuses on analysis of the spider fauna at Churchill. Results: 198 species were detected among 2704 spiders analyzed, tripling the count for the Churchill region. Estimates of overall diversity suggest that another 10–20 species await detection. Most species displayed little intraspecific sequence variation (maximum <1%) in the barcode region of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, but four species showed considerably higher values (maximum = 4.1-6.2%), suggesting cryptic species. All recognized species possessed a distinct haplotype array at COI with nearest-neighbour interspecific distances averaging 8.57%. Three species new to Canada were detected: Robertus lyrifer (Theridiidae), Baryphyma trifrons (Linyphiidae), and Satilatlas monticola (Linyphiidae). The first two species may represent human-mediated introductions linked to the port in Churchill, but the other species represents a range extension from the USA.

Strategy of the Steppe Eagle Conservation in the Russia Federation INTRODUCTION The Steppe Eagle (Aquila nipalensis) was broadly distributed from the Lower Danube, Bessarabia and eastern Ukraine, to East China and until recently, its status did not cause concern. Now, there is a global contraction of the species’ breeding range and it is splitting into isolated peripheral populations. In the European part of Russia, the population size has declined by 92 % in 30 years: from 15,000–25,000 pairs in the 1990s, to 1200–1900 pairs now.

    Measuring the Availability of Recreational Ecosystem Services on Rivers

    Carpathian Journal of Earth and Environmental Sciences, August 2021, Vol. 16, No. 2, p. 445 – 456; DOI:10.26471/cjees/2021/016/189 MEASURING THE AVAILABILITY OF RECREATIONAL ECOSYSTEM SERVICES ON RIVERS Irina ANDREEVA Laboratory of Water Resources and Water Management, Institute for Water and Environmental Problems, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 1, Molodezhnaya St., 656038 Barnaul, Russia email: [email protected] Abstract: Management of recreational water development is based on knowledge of local recreational practices, resources and demand. Non-resort inland regions are very specific. In those of them, where the space is large and the sphere of recreation is underdeveloped, it is impossible to measure the real values of these indicators in situ and in monetary terms. In this study is shows how to conduct a non-monetary assessment of ecosystem services (ESs) in atypical conditions of recreational water use (RW). To solve the problem in Siberia, an approach is proposed to assess the degree of satisfaction of the demand for water recreation by ecosystem proposals of the territory from the point of view of donor capabilities of the environment and its sustainability. Demographic and economic statistics, sociological Analytics, standards of permissible anthropogenic load on ecosystems are used as initial quantitative data for the calculation of supply and demand. The availability of recreational ESs is estimated in relative terms (percent) and shows the share of the resource potentially used by consumers from the available ecosystem supply. In three river basins with different socio-economic conditions and ecosystem proposals, a wide diapason of availability was revealed: 0.3-72.0% – on the coast and 1.0-369.1% – on the water area.

The following gen- era are the most diverse: Bembidion (47 species), Amara and Harpalus (21 each), Pterostichus (14), and Nebria (13). The subarid (35%) and boreal (32%) species prevail in the arealogical spectrum, while the mountain endem- ics comprise 13% of the fauna. The carabid fauna of SEA is heterogeneous in composition and differs significantly from that of the Western and Central Altai. The boreal mountain component mostly comprises tundra species with circum-boreal or circum-arctic ranges, while the subarid component (typical Mongolian together with Ancient Mediterranean species) forms more than one-half of the species diversity in the mountain basins. The species diver- sity increases from the nival mountain belt (15 species, predominantly Altai-Sayan endemics) to moss-lichen tun- dras (40, mostly boreal, species).
