  • The Influence of Climatic Change and Human Activity on Erosion Processes in Sub-Arid Watersheds in Southern East Siberia
    HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES Hydrol. Process. 17, 3181–3193 (2003) Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com). DOI: 10.1002/hyp.1382 The influence of climatic change and human activity on erosion processes in sub-arid watersheds in southern East Siberia Leonid M. Korytny,* Olga I. Bazhenova, Galina N. Martianova and Elena A. Ilyicheva Institute of Geography, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 1 Ulanbatorskaya St., Irkutsk, 664033, Russia Abstract: A LUCIFS model variant is presented that represents the influence of climate and land use change on fluvial systems. The study considers trends of climatic characteristics (air temperature, annual precipitation totals, rainfall erosion index, aridity and continentality coefficients) for the steppe and partially wooded steppe watersheds of the south of East Siberia (the Yenisey River macro-watershed). It also describes the influence of these characteristics on erosion processes, one indicator of which is the suspended sediment yield. Changes in the river network structure (the order of rivers, lengths, etc.) as a result of agricultural activity during the 20th century are investigated by means of analysis of maps of different dates for one of the watersheds, that of the Selenga River, the biggest tributary of Lake Baikal. The study reveals an increase of erosion process intensity in the first two-thirds of the century in the Selenga River watershed and a reduction of this intensity in the last third of the century, both in the Selenga River watershed and in most of the other watersheds of the study area. Copyright 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. KEY WORDS LUCIFS; Yenisey watershed; fluvial system; climate change; land use change; river network structure; erosion processes.

NARRATIVES OF SOCIAL CHANGE IN RURAL BURYATIA, RUSSIA by LUIS RAIMUNDO JESÚS ORTIZ ECHEVARRÍA Under the Direction of Jennifer Patico ABSTRACT This study explores postsocialist representations of modernity and identity through narratives of social change collected from individuals in rural communities of Buryatia, Russia. I begin with an examination of local conceptualizations of the past, present, and future and how they are imagined in places and spaces. Drawing on 65 days of fieldwork, in-depth interviews, informal discussion, and participant-observation, I elaborate on what I am calling a confrontation with physical triggers of self in connection to place, including imaginations of the countryside and

    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.

  • Significance of Protected Areas for the Pallas's
    Nature Conservation Research. Заповедная наука 2017. 2(Suppl. 1): 113–124 DOI: 10.24189/ncr.2017.019 SIGNIFICANCE OF PROTECTED AREAS FOR THE PALLAS’S CAT (OTOCOLOBUS MANUL: FELIDAE) CONSERVATION IN RUSSIA Anna N. Barashkova1, Vadim E. Kirilyuk2, Ilya E. Smelansky1 1Sibecocenter, Russia 2Daursky State Nature Biosphere Reserve, Russia e-mail: [email protected] Received: 12.04.2017 The Pallas’s cat, or Manul, Otocolobus manul, belongs to the small felines. In Russia this species is located at the northern periphery of its range. Potential habitats of this species within its Russian range’s part have been high- lighted on the base of remote sensing data, topographic maps and digital cartographic models. Maps of the Pallas’s cat’s records in Russia have been compiled using literature data, authors’ own data and information provided by contributors of the online database «Small Wild Сats of Eurasia». We have shown the representation of potential habitats of the Pallas’s cat and its actual registrations within Protected Areas of Russia. The total area of potential habitats for this species in Russia is assessed as 145,150 km2. The presence of Manul is confirmed for five regions of Russia: Republic of Altai, Republic of Tyva, Republic of Buryatia, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Trans-Baikal Krai. The registration of the species’ records mainly corresponds to the location of its potential habitats. The main categories of both federal and regional Russian Protected Areas cover 10.8% (13.5% taken with the buffer zones) of the total area of potential habitats for the Pallas’s cat. The significance of each Protected Area for Manul conservation has been considered in detail.

  • The Rock Art of Transbaikalia: New Sites from the Uda River Basin
    International Federation of Independent Rock Art Researchers Quarterly, Vol. 20, September 2019, pp. 11 – 37. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.334159 | Copyright CC BY 4.0, the author | Open Access The Rock Art of Transbaikalia: New Sites from the Uda River Basin Sergey Fedorov * The Uda River has its source on the Vitim Plateau in Transbaikalia and, after 467 km, it flows into the Selenga. To the north and west, the catchment basin of the Uda is bordered by the Ulan- Burgasy Ridge; to the east by the Vitim plateau and, to the south, by the Tsagan-Khurtey and Tsagan-Daban Ranges. Map of the Uda River Basin (the lower reaches and tributaries of the river not covered). Blue dots indicate famous and well-documented rock art sites. Unknown rock art sites (N1 - N18) are marked in red. The orange dots mark known rock art sites (N 19/N20) which are also included in this survey. The history of rock art research in the region covers 21 locations which were documented in a handful of surveys from the late 19th and early 20th centuries (Davydov, 1856; Kastren, 1860; Popov, 1928;) and augmented by a number of recent publications (Okladnikov and Zaporozh- skaya, 1969, 1970; Tivanenko, 1979, 1990; Khamzina, 1982; Lbova and Khamzina, 1999; Tsybiktarov, 2011; Tashak, 2011, 2013; Antonova and Tashak, 2013). Between June and August 2019, we have discovered and documented 18 additional rock art sites (N1 – N18). We have also examined and described two previously known sites (N19/20).
