Modern pollen–vegetation–climate relationships underpin palaeovegetation and palaeoclimate reconstructions from fossil pollen records. East Siberia is an ideal area for investigating the relationships between modern pollen assemblages and near natural vegetation under cold continental climate conditions. Reliable pollen-based quantitative vegetatio...

This article presents the findings of the authors’ study of the mire ecosystem vascular plants of the island of Bolshoy Shantar, which is the largest island in the Shantar archipelago. Bolshoy Shantar Island is an insular ecosystem, the study of which can provide insight into the natural “polygons” of evolution at work. The botanical research was c...

Circum-boreal and -tundra systems are crucial carbon pools that are experiencing amplified warming and are at risk of increasing wildfire activity. Changes in wildfire activity have broad implications for vegetation dynamics, underlying permafrost soils, and ultimately, carbon cycling. However, understanding wildfire effects on biophysical processe...

AbstractThe paper presents a study of characteristics of the formation of the vegetative cover after forest recultivation with the traditional technology (the planting of forest culture without any improvement of the technogenic substrate) on exhausted quarries of construction materials situated within the middle taiga subzone of the northeastern p...

AbstractThe accumulation of carbon of organic matter by forest phytocenoses during photosynthesis is their most important function, mitigating climate change on the Earth. The literature provides data that the territory of the Russian Federation is a large sink of atmospheric carbon. However, the estimates of the sink, as well as the values of th...

AbstractData obtained over 50 years of research on habitat selection, nest site choice, breeding behavior, and the characteristics of nests of the Willow Warbler Phylloscopus trochilus acredula (Linnaeus, 1758) in the taiga zone of Northwest Russia is summarized. In this region, the Willow Warblers prefer various coniferous–deciduous forests, water...

Background The European North-East of Russia is the territory which includes the Nenets Autonomous District, represented by the East European tundra (from Kanin Peninsula to Vaigach Island), Komi Republic with its taiga ecosystems and the Urals (Northern, SubPolar and Polar). Over 20 years of systematic studies of soil fauna in the studied region h...

AbstractThe long-term effect of spruce stand decay on the CO2 balance was studied in the taiga of Valdai (Russia, Novgorod oblast). The CO2 emission from soil, the respiration of coarse wood debris, the total respiration, and the net fluxes of CO2 and water vapor were evaluated. In areas of dead spruce forest affected by xylophages and saprotrophs,...

AbstractThis paper considers mass materials related to the feeding of the eagle owl from three latitudinal regions of the Urals (northern and southern taiga and steppe). All collections were carried out in the same type of location of bone remains of prey from pellets at the nesting grounds of eagle owls in niches and caves at cliffs along riverban...

Winter has long been considered a dormant season in boreal forests regarding plant physiological activity such as nutrient acquisition. However, biogeochemical data clearly show that soil can remain unfrozen with substantial rates of nutrient transformation for several weeks following autumn snowfall. Here we examined nitrate (NO3--N) assimilation ...
