Important Bird Areas in Europe – Russia ■ RUSSIA TANYA SVIRIDOVA Danilovskoye marshes (IBA 073). (PHOTO: MIKHAIL IVANOV/RBCU) GENERAL INTRODUCTION comprise 154 ‘new’ sites and 64 ‘original’ sites. The previous inventory of IBAs in Europe (Grimmett and Jones 1989) identified Russia, covering about 17,075,400 km2, spans two continents— 75 sites in European Russia (‘original’ sites), but 11 of these (listed Europe and Asia. This account considers only the European part of in Table 1) were excluded from the present review for various Russia, which covers about 3,955,800 km2 and which is bounded in reasons. Of these 11, one (former site SU110) was mistakenly the east by the Ural mountains, in the south by the Caspian Sea, classified as lying in Russian territory but was actually in Belarus Caucasus mountains, the Black Sea and Ukraine, in the west by (see Belarus chapter), four were duplicates of other sites (former Belarus and the Baltic countries, in the north-west by the Fenno- site SU098 was the same as former site SU101, and former sites scandian countries, and in the north by the Arctic Ocean. European SU131, SU134 and SU135 were the same as SU133), while the other Russia straddles the latitudes between 44°N and 82°N (i.e. including six sites do not meet the current IBA criteria (which have been Franz Josef Land), and the longitudes between 20°E and 70°E. revised since 1989). Of the remaining 64 ‘original’ sites which are European Russia crosses three time-zones as well as eight major considered to meet the current criteria, 46 were updated with new biogeographic zones, and contains an enormous diversity of natural, information and were confirmed to meet the revised criteria, while man-altered and artificial environments, which provide habitats there was no new information for the remaining 18, for which for an extraordinarily rich flora and fauna. The biogeographic zones criteria have been assigned provisionally, based on information in vary from semi-desert in the south-east, passing as one moves the original 1989 inventory. northward through steppe, wooded steppe, temperate broadleaved Although the 218 IBAs cover about 174,500 km 2, or about 4.4% and mixed forest, boreal forest (taiga), wooded tundra, and finally of the land area of European Russia, they are not evenly distributed to the tundra proper in the far north. Similar zonation occurs, with throughout this territory. There are few IBAs on the inland tundra, increasing altitude, on the main mountain ranges. away from the Arctic shore—identifying such IBAs is difficult Most of the land surface of European Russia lies between sea because of the lack of infrastructure and because many species breed level and 200 m elevation. There are two high mountain ranges: there in a highly dispersed fashion, meaning that a particular area the Urals (up to c.2,000 m) and the Caucasus (up to c.5,640 m). In on its own may not support a significant number of individuals of addition, the Central Russian Uplands lie in the middle of European a species. In addition, there is a large area in the main forest-zone Russia. Several large rivers cross European Russia, such as the in the north-east of European Russia where very few IBAs have Volga, Pechora, Severnaya Dvina, Onega, and Don. been identified (see Map 1). At the level of individual administrative European Russia includes 53 out of the 89 administrative regions regions, IBAs tend to be located in the valleys of the larger rivers, in the whole country. These incorporate many of the larger centres as these are important ecological corridors and migration routes; of human population in Russia, such as Moscow, St Petersburg, or near to the boundary of the region, where there tends to be less Nizhni Novgorod, Saratov, Kazan’, Samara, Volgograd, Ufa, Perm’, infrastructure and a lower human-population density.

Vast whole of Russia, this territory is still vast compared to the rest of areas of mountains and northern forests are sparsely populated.

The landscape indication, based on the automated analysis of remote sensing data, is one of the key methods of research and mapping of lithohydrogene geosystems. The article describes a set of methods for effective detection of types of lithohydrogene systems, including a set of modules for identifying dynamic and invariant descriptors of the territory; assessment of geophysical diversity of landscapes; analysis of the geophysical shell through the calculation of the descriptors of the neighborhood; ensemble-analysis of remote sensing data for monitoring the state of geosystems and forecasting of natural processes. The system of methods for detecting types of landscapes made it possible to conduct geodiagnostics of lithohydrogene systems of the Privolzhskaya Upland and the marginal part of the Oka-Don lowland reservoir within the boundaries of the Republic of Mordovia in order to predict the development of exogeodynamic processes. 1 Introduction The most important directions of modern research in the Earth sciences are the development of a methodology and methods for searching for patterns of development of exogeodynamic processes (EGP) for forecasting development and minimizing

    An Annotated List of Birds Wintering in the Lhasa River Watershed and Yamzho Yumco, Tibet Autonomous Region, China

    FORKTAIL 23 (2007): 1–11 An annotated list of birds wintering in the Lhasa river watershed and Yamzho Yumco, Tibet Autonomous Region, China AARON LANG, MARY ANNE BISHOP and ALEC LE SUEUR The occurrence and distribution of birds in the Lhasa river watershed of Tibet Autonomous Region, People’s Republic of China, is not well documented. Here we report on recent observations of birds made during the winter season (November–March). Combining these observations with earlier records shows that at least 115 species occur in the Lhasa river watershed and adjacent Yamzho Yumco lake during the winter. Of these, at least 88 species appear to occur regularly and 29 species are represented by only a few observations. We recorded 18 species not previously noted during winter. Three species noted from Lhasa in the 1940s, Northern Shoveler Anas clypeata, Solitary Snipe Gallinago solitaria and Red-rumped Swallow Hirundo daurica, were not observed during our study. Black-necked Crane Grus nigricollis (Vulnerable) and Bar-headed Goose Anser indicus are among the more visible species in the agricultural habitats which dominate the valley floors. There is still a great deal to be learned about the winter birds of the region, as evidenced by the number of apparently new records from the last 15 years.

Thus, the aim of this study was to propose a method to assess ecological drawdowns from power station reservoirs. An example of its application for the Volga River downstream area is presented. The efficiency of the quantitative assessment of ecological water discharge from the reservoir of the Volgograd hydroelectric power station is analyzed and discussed in relation to the improvement of the environmental condition of the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain, which covers an area of 6.1 × 103 km2. It is shown that a decrease of spring-summer flooding worsened significantly its environmental condition, i.e. biodiversity decreased by 2-3 times, soil fertility declined by 25%, floodplain relief deformation occurred and the productivity of semi-migratory fish decreased by more than 3 times.
