This review of trends in inland saline lakes Europe and Central Asia is based on the relevant section Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform Biodiversity Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Regional Assessment Report for (ECA). We assessed present status ECA effects direct drivers (climate change, land use, pollution, resource exploitation, invasive species) ecosystem health biodiversity. also past, current future using habitat area degradation, species richness, endangered as indicators. No...
<title>Abstract</title> Saline lakes are hypersensitive to changes in their water balance and therefore show amplified responses climatic land-use catchment. However, despite the resulting, often dramatic ecological consequences, saline rank low on policy agendas as they assumed support few ecosystem services levels of biodiversity. Here, we challenge this view evaluate threatened species 84 distributed across globe. We found that harbour not only aquatic biota but also a diverse range...
To achieve the Paris Agreement’s temperature goal, greenhouse gas emissions should be reduced as soon as, and by much, possible. By mid-century, CO2 would need to cut zero, total gases net zero just after mid-century. Achieving carbon neutrality is impossible without dioxide removal from atmosphere through afforestation/reforestation. It necessary ensure storage for a period of 100 years or more. The study focuses on theoretical feasibility an integrated climate project involving storage,...
Climate change impacts in Russia's territory make species and ecosystems conservation Protected Areas a more difficult challenge.Additional adaptation measures are required.Before they developed, it is important to assess the vulnerability of territory: what exactly, which extent, exposed adverse climate impacts?The accomplished research will help develop an action plan consistent with current unstable extreme weather events, as well projections by leading institutions Roshydromet Russian...
Protected Areas can play an important role in climate change adaptation as nature-based solutions. With the huge deficit, which results average loss of RUB 60 billion from extreme weather events annually, importance protective ecosystem services is being underestimated. The conservation intact vegetation enables maintenance stability a territory that several times larger, than within Area. In mountainous regions, forests and grasslands prevent mudflows. tundra high mountains, slows down fast...
Реферат.В статье приведены результаты анализа опасных гидрометеорологических явлений вдоль Черноморского побережья Северо-Западного Кавказа.Авторы провели оценку их вклада в динамику природных прибрежных экосистем.Результаты показывают, что восточного Черного моря отмечается рост среднегодовых и максимальных значений температуры воздуха за последние несколько десятилетий, увеличивается количество волн жары.Температура приземного слоя с 1987 года по 2020 год повышалась со скоростью от...
This work is devoted to the analysis of landscape structure coastal cliffs Black Sea coast Caucasus. The paper analyzes features vegetation growth and Tuaphat massif, proposes substantiates classification landscapes cliffs, reveals landscapes. In natural boundaries can be distinguished by: nature apparent occurrence geological layers; substates by steepness slope; striae, which are characterized more abundant along cracks in layer; facies usually coincide geographically with nanoand...
Since 1976, mean annual temperature in Russia has been rising at 0.47 °C per decade (in the Arctic 1 decade). This process determines shifts biome boundaries and large-scale ecosystem restructuring. Biome should have moved 400 to 500 km northwards 200 300 other climate zones are likely shift another 200–500 north. Arctic, mountain, steppe, Far East ecosystems most vulnerable adverse change. Creation of protected areas become a priority measure for adaptation ecosystems. On average, (PAs)...
In Russia, the modern climate change manifests primarily as substantially increasing annual mean near-surface air temperature. Its rate is 2-2.5 times higher than for globe. The amount of precipitation in most parts country also growing, but pattern more heterogeneous. number dangerous hydrometeorological events causing damage has increased by 2-3 compared to end 20th century. following adverse terrestrial ecosystems are indicated literature often: increase seasonal temperatures, heat and...
The landscape units of the Black Sea coast North-Western Caucasus have complex and dynamic structures. Mapping such systems is possible only on a large scale, by superimposing remote sensing data field research materials. detailed maps marine abrasive coasts this region were produced for first time. structure includes identified hierarchic units: stows, substows, narrow stretched belts, land facies. A substow was selected as main unit analysis coastal mapping. map exposes activity slope...
Ecosystem-based adaptation can be applied as an option for sustainable land management. Methodologies that not only prevent degradation but also contribute to the maintenance of a hydrological regime have become priority in arid Central Asian climate. Large river deltas used natural counter-regulator, which accumulates water wet seasons/years and gradually gives it back low-water ones. To do so land-use must ecosystems reduction their functions. The hystorical anthropogenic damage...
