Exploration for copper, lead, barite in Tuyuk Temirlik district of Almaty region, Kazakhstan. Location and infrastructure Tuyuk Temirlik ore field is located in the extreme southeastern part of the Almaty region, on the territory of Uygur and Raiymbek districts. Almaty city is located 200 kilometers west of the ore field, the nearest settlement is the district center Kegen village located 15 km to the southwest. Tuyuk mine is in the center of the ore field. The state border with China runs 85 km to the east of the ore field, the border with Kyrgyzstan is 40 km southwest of it. Power and telecommunication lines are concentrated in the settlements along the Almaty-Narynkol highway. The nearest highway Almaty-Kegen-Narynkol passes directly through the district. The railway station nearest to the area is located in Almaty (260 km). Fig. 1. Overview map of the Tuyuk-Temirlik ore area The largest geographical unit of the district - Ketmen ridge - extends in the latitudinal direction of the territory of Kazakhstan by 150 km and extends to China, a bit deviating to the north-east. In the north, the ridge is bordering with the Ili depression, in the south Kegen basin. At the western edge they are subdivided into two branches: the mountains Kushanay and Kuluktau in the north and the Temirlik in the south. The Tuyuk-Temirlik ore area is located in the intermountain trough, in the northern slope of the Temirlik, where watershed extends latitudinally 2.5 km to the south of the deposit at 2,800-2,860 m. The Temirlik River flows in a north-western direction 5km to the north of Tuyuk deposit at 1,550- 1,650 m. Generally, the deposit area is an intermountain basin, open to the northwest and closed from the other sides, because of which it has its name ("Tuyuk" - a dead end, a closed basin). Drainage system in the area is well developed and has a typical river feathery appearance. The Ili River, which flows into the Balkhash Lake, flows 90 km to the north of the mine. The right tributary of the Charyn River is formed by the confluence of the Karkar and Kegen rivers 30 km to the south- west of the deposit, doubling the Temirlik and Kushanay Mountain. Its average annual capacity is 40 m3/s, the minimum one is 27 m3/s. The Kegen River runs 13 km to the south of the deposit, at the foot of the Temirlik Mountain. Its average capacity is 28 m3/s. the minimum one is 18 m3/s. (January, February). Scope of works performed on Tuyuk-Temirlik ore area for the years 2013 -2016: Drilling of the exploratory wells -19,709 lm .; Drilling of coring wells – 4,552 lm; Profile electromagnetics IP-DES – 151.47 lkm; Trenching (mining works) – 12,216.7 m3; Excavation of sampling pits – 50 lm; Prospecting traverse - 882.5 lkm; ICP-AES analysis of geological samples to 35 el.– 10,762; ICP-AES analysis of quantitative additional cost for 4 el. - 822; Chem.analysis – 1,500; Semiquantitative spectral analysis for 24 el – 4,489. 2. Production of barite-polymetallic ores and silver at the Tuyuk deposit in Almaty region, Kazakhstan Location and infrastructure The Tuyuk deposit is located in the central part of the Tuyuk-Temirlik contract area, in the extreme southeastern part of the Almaty region of Kazakhstan on the territory of Raiymbek district, near its border with the Uyghur region. Almaty is located 200 km to the west of the deposit, Taldykorgan is 230 km north-northwest of the deposit, Karakol – Kyrgyz Republic – is 105 km to the southwest. The state border with China is 85 km to the east of the field, and the border with the Republic of Kyrgyzstan is 40 km to the south-west of it (all distances are indicated given the straight line). Absolute marks are 2,170-2,375 m above the sea level. The deposit is located in the western part of the Tien Shan mountain system, on the western edge of the Ketmen ridge, in the south-eastern part of the basin of the Ili River – the Balkhash Lake. The district has favorable geographical and economic conditions: relatively mild climate, significant hydroelectric resources, proximity to highways. A negative factor is the remoteness of the area from the railways. The main thoroughfare of the district is the Almaty - Kegen - Narynkol highway, which extends 15 km to the west of the Tuyuk field. Agriculture in the area is intensively developing in recent years due to the development of wild and fallow lands. The area has good conditions for agriculture, including irrigated one. A special place takes the livestock, mainly sheep breeding. Local industry in the field area is low-developed. Mining industry is not extensively developed, although geological exploration revealed a number of interesting and important projects. Fig. 2. Overview map of the Tuyuk deposit 3.

Approximately 95% of Kazakhstan’s forests are managed by 123 state forestry entities, which are overseen by regional governments (akimats). Under the current forest governance system, forestry entities lack sufficient capacity to effectively manage HCVF, including those forests neighboring highly biodiverse protected areas. Kazakhstan’s protected area system covers approximately 24,018,800 ha, or 8.81% (as of 2015) of the total country, although only 5% of Kazakhstan’s forests are included within protected areas. Therefore, forest ecosystems are underrepresented in the national protected area systems. Kazakhstan has three main forest ecosystem types: alpine forests, tugai (riparian) forests, and saxaul landscapes (desert and semi-desert shrubs). GEF-UNDP Project “«Conservation and sustainable management of key globally important ecosystems for multiple benefits» (hereinafter referred as Project) has being implemented in Kazakhstan since 2018.

University, Almaty, Republic of Kazakhstan; 2Botany Department, Ege University, Izmir, Turkey and Faculty of Forestry, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper highlights morpho-metric and anatomical characteristics of a rare, endangered, endemic species Taraxacum kok-saghyz from Kazakhstan. The plant has been investigated using three different populations during young generative stages. The morphometric features recorded here from the natural populations show that, height of T. kok-saghyz plants and diameter of crown significantly increase in generative period. Plant roots contain milky tubes filled with coagulated latex - rubber threads, and are characterized by varying degrees of specific tissue development, depending on place of growth. Thus, it was found that plants of population № 2 are characterized by significant development of primary cork (553.12 mkm=micron) and diameter of central cylinder (432.70 µ), in which narrow clearance xylem elements are concentrated. On the contrary, plants of population № 3, have all signs of body xeromorphic structures (strong development of cover tissue and presence of more wide clearance vessels of water conducting tissue). Dark chestnut mountain soil type is the most favorable for plant growth and development.

  • COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS of the DISTRIBUTION and HABITATS of TWO Eremias SPECIES (REPTILIA, LACERTIDAE) USING NICHE-BASED GIS MODELING
    Russian Journal of Herpetology Vol. 26, No. 5, 2019, pp. 281 – 304 DOI: 10.30906/1026-2296-2019-26-5-281-304 COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRIBUTION AND HABITATS OF TWO Eremias SPECIES (REPTILIA, LACERTIDAE) USING NICHE-BASED GIS MODELING Tatjana N. Dujsebayeva,1,2* Dmitry V. Malakhov,2,3 Nikolay N. Berezovikov,1 Xianguang Guo,4 Jinlong Liu,4 and Alexander V. Cherednichenko5 Submitted February 15, 2019 The distribution and habitat characteristics of two Eremias species (E. arguta and E. stummeri) from contiguous areas of southeastern Kazakhstan, northeastern Kyrgyzstan, and western Xinjiang, China, were analyzed using GIS modeling. We show that both species are dry-steppe-adapted xerophilous lizards with sclerophilic and par- tially petrophilic specialization. In spite of the visible similarity of the ecological niches (ENs) occupied by E. ar- guta and E. stummeri, the latter differs in a number of key variables. While most of the precipitation variables, the radiation of the winter and off-season months, and afternoon (PM) humidity are most important for E. arguta habi- tats, the habitats suitable for E. stummeri are limited by temperature variables, radiation during most of the year, and morning (AM) humidity. Differences on this scale indicate the way in which these lizards are adapted to dif- ferent ecosystems — E. arguta to the plains and E. stummeri to the mountains — and support the views on their different zoogeographical accessory. A visible correspondence of the distributional pattern of the two Eremias spe- cies to the mountain piedmonts and low foothills, with Pliocene-Quaternary concreted pebble deposits and the loess strata, permit us to consider mountain trails as the most likely means by which the species expanded in the Late Cenozoic period.

  • The Tien Shan Early Paleozoic Tectonics and Geodynamics
    RUSSIAN JOURNAL OF EARTH SCIENCES, VOL. 8, ES3003, doi:10.2205/2006ES000202, 2006 The Tien Shan Early Paleozoic tectonics and geodynamics B. S. Burtman Geological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia Received 20 May 2006; revised 15 June 2006; accepted 10 July 2006; published 20 July 2006. [1] Reported in this paper are the results of the analysis and generalization of the geological, radiometric, paleomagnetic and biogeographical data obtained in the Western, Central, and Eastern Tien Shan during the study of the Late Neoproterozoic and Early Paleozoic rocks. Earlier the Tien Shan rocks belonged to the Alay-Tarim Early Paleozoic continent, as well as to a few microcontinents and oceanic basins. From the Vendian to the Late Carboniferous the Turkestan oceanic basin separated the Alay-Tarim continent from the assemblage of microcontinents and island arcs the rocks of which compose the North Turkestan domain of the present-day Tien Shan. During the Early Paleozoic the rocks of this domain composed the Borohoro, Issyk Kul, and Syr Darya microcontinents. These microcontinents were separated by the Terskey and Ili oceanic basins, where oceanic island arcs originated and disappeared. These oceanic basins were closed during the collision of the microcontinents in the Early Ordovician (Terskey Basin) and in the Silurian (Ili Basin). The structural features of the region also described and discussed in this paper, as well as the tectonic processes that operated in the Early Paleozoic, including their evolution and geodynamics.
