Prevailing is the westerly air mass transfer; cyclonic character is well pronounced. The Project area belongs to a cold climatic region with the least harsh conditions. The following specific features are characteristic of the local climate: significant variations in the annual (45-50°C) and daily (up to 20°C) ambient air temperature amplitude; monsoon type of the climate attributed almost exclusively to north-westerly winds in winter; prevalence of atmospheric precipitation in summer; well-defined seasonality. The following processes in the atmosphere influence the climate within the region: solar radiation, circulation of air masses, the topography providing access for cold Arctic air masses and remote location of major water bodies. The monsoon character of air mass circulation in Amur Region is predetermined in the first instance by the overall global air mass circulation. Typical of the subject region is continental moderate air. In summer, tropical air masses of continental and maritime origin influence the Amur Region regional climate. In winter, a stable Asian anticyclone centered in Mongolia prevails in the subject region. The north-eastern part of the high pressure zone resulted in prevailing winds of north-westerly direction. The weather in winter is predominantly cold and with little snow. Air masses from the Pacific Ocean create southerly, south-easterly and south-westerly winds penetrating for considerable distances into the mainland areas and activating cyclonic activities. The atmospheric precipitation in summer is predetermined by the cyclonic activity. Baseline Environmental Conditions 7-3 Transition of the average daily temperature to the range below –5°C is considered to be the beginning of the winter season; transition to the average daily air temperature above +5°C is considered as the beginning of the spring time. Winter in the subject region is cold and dry with a thin snow cover and much sunshine. The duration of the period with an average daily air temperature below the 0°C level is 175 days. The typical weather in winter is predominantly clear, with sunshine and a high atmospheric pressure, i.e. 1,000 mb (750 mm Hg) and higher. The average ambient air temperature in January is –26°C in the south and –32°C in the north of Amur Region. The summer is warm. Precipitation levels vary from 350 mm to 450 mm in the northern part and from 250 mm to 350 mm in the southern part of the region. Rains cause floods of major and minor watercourses in the subject region. The ambient air temperature rises up to 16-21°C on the plains and up to 10-12°C in the mountains. The autumn begins in early September when the average daily air temperature drops to below +10°C. The weather in September is normally rainy, especially during the first half of the month, but then with lower air temperatures there are more bright days with much sunshine. Drift snow, drizzling rain and icing are also reported in autumn. The working conditions can become difficult during the summer-autumn period due to considerable precipitation rates and floods of watercourses. The following data recorded at the weather station in the town of Svobodny were used for the assessment of the climatic conditions in the Project area1 (Table 7.2): Table 7.2: Location of the weather station in town of Svobodny WMO Index Latitude Longitude Elevation, m above sea level 31445 51.45 128.12 195 7.2.1.2 Solar radiation According to the annual values, the annual solar radiation balance within the subject region is positive. Sunshine is recorded in the north and south of Amur Region for 1900-2000 hours/year and over 2500 hours/year, respectively. In the city of Blagoveshchensk the average sunshine time is 2266 hours/year and at the weather station of Byssa (Selemdzhinsky district (52°27'47" N and 130°50'35" E) it is 2187 hours/ year (Figure 7.1). 1 Climatic data has been adopted from the 'Analytical Reference Data According to Agreement No.46/14 for provision of hydrometeorological information collected at the weather station of Svobodny, 2014' provided by the Russian Research Institute of Hydrometeorological Information - World Data Center.

    Revolution, War and Imperial Conflict in Blagoveshchensk-Heihe Yuexin Rachel Lin

    “We Are on the Brink of Disaster”: Revolution, War and Imperial Conflict in Blagoveshchensk-Heihe Yuexin Rachel Lin When Russian imperial power extended to the Amur in the mid-19th Century, Blagoveshchensk- Heihe became one of the foremost sites of imperial competition. The proximity of the Chinese and Russian cities, within sight of each other across the Amur River, engendered both connection and conflict, while the strategic waterway attracted Japanese trade. Some of the starkest manifesta- tions of Sino-Russian conflict had erupted there, including the 1858 Treaty of Aigun and the 1900 massacre of Chinese during the Boxer Rebellion. Control over Chinese migration became a peren- nial problem - which led to the deeply-resented river-crossing permit regime - and Japanese inter- est in commerce and shipping challenged both Russian and Chinese interests. Historical memories of such conflict persisted even as the Qing and tsarist regimes collapsed. They were brought to the fore by the arrival of the 1917 Russian Revolution, when the collapse of Russian state power offered the opportunity to recover past losses. This paper examines the vio- lence of the revolutionary and Civil War period in Blagoveshchensk-Heihe from the perspective of the Chinese community in both cities. It focuses on key economic and political actors — diaspora leaders and border officials — who formed self-defence organisations, appealed for greater military and diplomatic presence in Russian territory, and warned of Japanese opportunism on the Amur. In so doing, they appealed to emotive “moments” in Sino-Russian historical memory, particularly the Aigun Treaty and the Blagoveshchensk massacre. Therefore, this paper argues that the revolu- tionary upheavals in Russia fed into long-term discourses of Sino-Russian conflict, and that shared historical memories enabled disparate groups to take part in revisionist activism.

The combination of glacial history, climate and relief has allowed the development of the richest and most unusual temperate forests in the world. Compared to other temperate ecosystems, the level of endemic plants and invertebrates present in the region is extraordinarily high which has resulted in unusual assemblages of plants and animals. For example, subtropical species such as tiger and Himalayan bear share the same habitat with species typical of northern taiga such as brown bear and reindeer. The site is also important for the survival of endangered species such as the scaly-sided (Chinese) merganser, Blakiston's fish-owl and the Amur tiger.

Lampyris noctiluca (Linnaeus, 1767) (Coleoptera, Lampyridae) covers an extensive transpalaearctic range (Medvedev & Ryvkin 1992; Geisthardt & Sato 2007; Kazantsev 2010, 2011) with unclear boundaries of distribution on the periphery. The eastern sector of the range has been studied the least. Until recently, from the Amur region (within the borders of the Amurskaya oblast' and Khabarovskii krai of Russia) three points of collection of L. noctiluca were known. However, this which does not give a detailed idea of the range of the species in this region (Kazantsev 2010) (Fig. 1). Our research provided material from the basins of the Amur and Uda rivers, which significantly clarifies the northern boundary of distribution in the eastern sector of the range of Lampyris noctiluca. Lampyris noctiluca is also firstly recorded for the Heilongjiang province in China and the Evreiskaya avtonomnaya oblast' in Russia.

    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.
