How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country. -

Fire and Vegetation Dynamics in North-West Siberia During the Last

Correspondence: Ekaterina Ezhova (ekaterina.ezhova@helsinki.fi) Abstract. Rapidly warming Arctic undergoes transitions that can influence global carbon balance. One of the key processes is the shift towards plant species with higher biomass underlining a stronger carbon sink. The shift is predicted by the models based on abiotic climatic factors but it is not always confirmed with observations. Here we use high-resolution remote sensing to study the process of transition of tundra into forest on the 20 000 km2 area in North-West Siberia. Overall, 40% of the study 5 area was burned during 60-yr period. Three quarters of the burned areas were dry tundra. Ca 10% of the study area experienced 2-3 fires with an interval of 15-60 years suggesting a shorter fire return interval than that reported earlier for the northern areas of Central Siberia (130-350 years). Based on our results, the shift in vegetation (within the 60-years period) occurred in 40-85% of the burned territories. -

In particular, this problem is extremely important for Russia in the context of changing the paradigm of the planned development of the Arctic oil and gas economy into indefinite long-term prospects and scenarios of Arctic development. This situation led to reducing social-economic northern benefits and compensations and strengthens the trends of Arctic youth educational migration. However, the experience of digital transformation and forced distance learning due to the pandemic of 2020 could bring young people a new understanding of the opportunities of digitalization, influencing their migration decisions. To clarify the potential of digital technologies in solving the problem of youth migration outflow in the Russian Arctic, we surveyed the students at technical schools and colleges of the Yamal-Nenets autonomous area, Russia; sample size 1532 students in total.
