“…Certainly, the main spatial mapping cell in hydrology is the basin (catchment), and we substantiated this in the theoretical development of the basin concept in nature management (Korytny 2001;Korytny 2017).The difference of the main mapping procedures for elements of the hydrographic network and landscapes of the catchment is due to this. At the hillslope level, i. e. where atmospheric precipitation transforms to the runoff, to the overland runoff first, and then to the channeled runoff, it is recommended that the method of indicative localization be used, which is based on interdependences of geosystem components (Gagarinova 2012).…”

“…These requirements are satisfied by the technique of longchannel mapping, based on the tools of structural hydrography (Korytny 2001;Ilyicheva 2009). Large-scale topographic maps are used to construct the river network graph for the region, based on the principles of the Horton-Strahler river order classification.…”

We examine water resource mapping as an important component of the geographical approach in land hydrology and in the water sector which serves to assist considerably in dealing with water problems and water resource management. We suggest that seven groups of water resource maps be distinguished: introductory maps, maps of formation of surface and subsurface water regimes, maps of assessments of water resource potential, maps of water management, maps of anthropogenic impacts on water, maps of hazardous hydrological phenomena and maps of water protection measures. Characteristic properties water resource mapping for atlas products are identified using a case study of territory surrounding Lake Baikal as a site of global significance. We compiled an inventory of water resource themes covered by various atlases of the Baikal region and determined gaps relating to economic aspects of water and to maps on water protection. Limitations of the traditional isoline method in geographical water resource mapping are shown. At hillslope level where atmospheric precipitation transforms to surface runoff further to stream flow, it is recommended that the indication localization method be used, which is based on interdependencies of components of the geosystem. Water runoff mapping at the regional level in the hydrographic network uses the technique of long-channel (epure) mapping based on tools of structural hydrographic and Horton-Strahler classification. A technique of regionalization is described for flood hazards, water protection and recreation zoning of Baikal’s shores as well as cartographic modeling of processes in the Selenga river delta.

“…We use the ichthyological zoning according to Chereshnev (1998) as such. The drainage basin can be chosen as another boundary, being an integral unit in the organization of the landscape: it dictates the hydrological regime of the territory, the drainage basins determine the peculiarities of the temperature regime and other characteristics of water bodies (Martynenko and Bocharnikov, 2008;Korytny, 2017). Basin principle of subdivision of the spawning range is essential for chum salmon, as well as for many other species, for which the freshwater period is the most important stage of ontogenesis, since the main adaptive pressure and formation of the homing mechanism occur during this period.…”

Abstract— Using the example of chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta in the Amur zoogeographic province, we review the principle of subdividing the species into population groups. On the basis of zoogeographic zoning and biological boundaries of chum salmon groups defined by the spawning areas, taking into account the distribution, migration, and reproduction, as well as estimates of their differentiation using microsatellite DNA markers, we identified eight ecogeographic units in the Amur province. In the Amur zoogeographic region of this province, these included the summer chum salmon of the Amur-Amgun ecoregion and the autumn chum salmon of the Lower Amur (Amur-Amgun and Amur-Ussuri ecoregions); in the Shantar zoogeographic region of the province, the Uda-Tugur and Ulban groups; in the Sakhalin part of the Amur province, groups from the northwestern and northeastern Sakhalin, as well as summer and autumn chum salmon from the Poronai River. These ecogeographic units can be considered as basic spawning management units of chum salmon for this part of the species distribution range.

Impacts of Energy Efficiency and Economic Growth on Air Pollutant Emissions: Evidence from Angara–Yenisey Siberia

Environmental problems of urban and rural areas are now high on the agenda of industrialized countries, becoming a key challenge for regional-level policymaking. The mutual influence of population growth, economic and technological development, and the anthropogenic pressure on the environment is still insufficiently studied in many countries, including Russia. In this paper, this relationship is studied for the municipalities of Angara–Yenisey Siberia using an ensemble of the STIRPAT-like regression models, adapted according to the available data. We found that population size and gross municipal product were positively associated with pollutant emissions (p < 0.01), while energy efficiency had no significant impact on air pollution. In addition to the poor national data quality and completeness issues, which can distort statistical conclusions, the cause of the observed lack of spatial correlation between energy efficiency and air pollutant emissions may be path dependence and an insufficient pace of transition to a greener economy. This leaves room for institutional transformations aimed at intensifying energy efficiency to reduce the environmental burden.
