  • Chronicles of Nature Calendar, a Long-Term and Large-Scale Multitaxon Database on Phenology
    www.nature.com/scientificdata OPEN Chronicles of nature calendar, DATA DESCRIPTOR a long-term and large-scale multitaxon database on phenology Otso Ovaskainen et al.# We present an extensive, large-scale, long-term and multitaxon database on phenological and climatic variation, involving 506,186 observation dates acquired in 471 localities in Russian Federation, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Belarus and Kyrgyzstan. The data cover the period 1890–2018, with 96% of the data being from 1960 onwards. The database is rich in plants, birds and climatic events, but also includes insects, amphibians, reptiles and fungi. The database includes multiple events per species, such as the onset days of leaf unfolding and leaf fall for plants, and the days for frst spring and last autumn occurrences for birds. The data were acquired using standardized methods by permanent staf of national parks and nature reserves (87% of the data) and members of a phenological observation network (13% of the data). The database is valuable for exploring how species respond in their phenology to climate change. Large-scale analyses of spatial variation in phenological response can help to better predict the consequences of species and community responses to climate change. Background & Summary Phenological dynamics have been recognised as one of the most reliable bio-indicators of species responses to ongoing warming conditions1. Together with other adaptive mechanisms (e.g. changes in the spatial distribution and physiological adaptations), phenological change is a key mechanism by which plants and animals adapt to a changing world2,3. Many studies have documented that in the northern hemisphere, spring events have become earlier whereas autumn events are occurring later than before, mostly due to rising temperatures4–6.

The west coast of the lake has vast forest resources and excellent ecological conditions, and this area and the Mongolian Plateau constitute an important ecological security barrier in northern China. Land-use/cover change is an important manifestation of regional human activities and ecosystem evolution. This paper uses Irkutsk city, a typical city on the West Bank of Lake Baikal, as a case study area. Based on three phases of Landsat remote-sensing image data, the land-use/cover change pattern and change process are analyzed and the natural factors and socioeconomic factors are combined to reveal driving forces through the partial least squares regression (PLSR) model.

  • Food and Water Security Issues in Russia II: Water Security in General Population of Russian Arctic, Siberia and Far East, 2000Á2011

Poor state of water supply systems, shortage of water purification facilities and disinfection systems, low quality of drinking water generally in Russia and particularly in the regions of the Russian Arctic, Siberia and Far East have been defined in the literature. However, no standard protocol of water security assessment has been used in the majority of studies. Study design and methods. Uniform water security indicators collected from Russian official statistical sources for the period 2000Á2011 were used for comparison for 18 selected regions in the Russian Arctic, Siberia and Far East. The following indicators of water security were analyzed: water consumption, chemical and biological contamination of water reservoirs of Categories I and II of water sources (centralized Á underground and surface, and non-centralized) and of drinking water. Results. Water consumption in selected regions fluctuated from 125 to 340 L/person/day. Centralized water sources (both underground and surface sources) are highly contaminated by chemicals (up to 40Á80%) and biological agents (up to 55% in some regions), mainly due to surface water sources.

  • WWF-Russia 2006. Annual Report Download
    WWF-RUSSIA 2006 FOR A LIVING PLANET Everyone who cares about the future of our planet knows and understands the WWF’s slogan For a Living Planet. For 45 years WWF has been working in the most varied environments of the world, from arctic deserts to tropical rainforests. We will remember 2006 as a year of inspiring victories, many of which were several years in the making. In April the future path of the Eastern Siberia – Pacific Ocean oil pipeline was decided, ending a threat to Lake Baikal. Since 2004 we have negotiated with Transneft, spoken publicly through the media, and demonstrated that laying a pipeline a mere 800 meters from the shores of Baikal is unacceptable. In the end, common sense carried the day: following a wave of protests and demonstrations throughout the country and letters of the leaders of Russia’s regions and the Siberian Federal District, President Vladimir Putin ordered the pipeline moved far enough from Lake Baikal to ensure the lake’s safety. This decision is one of the greatest victories for © WWF-Canon / Jean-Luc RAY environmentalists since the battle in the 1980s to prevent a project that would have changed the Igor Chestin, direction of north-flowing rivers. CEO WWF-Russia Three years were spent in negotiations with Royal Dutch/Shell and the European Bank for Written while aboard the Ushuaia Reconstruction and Development, on addressing the Ministry of Natural Resources of the in the Drake Passage en route Russian Federation, and on lawsuits relating to the Sakhalin-2 project.
