  • Assessing landscape potential for human sustainability and ‘attractiveness’ across Asian Russia in a warmer 21st century

    Open AccessE I Parfenova, N M Tchebakova et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    In the past, human migrations have been associated with climate change. As our civilizations developed, humans depended less on the environment, in particular on climate, because technological and economic development in the span of human history allowed us to adapt to and overcome environmental discomfort. Asian Russia (east of the Urals to the Pacific) is known to be sparsely populated. The population is concentrated along the forest-steppe in …

  • Earth science and the integral climatic and socio-economic drivers of change across northern Eurasia: The Neespi legacy and future direction

    Open AccessA J Soja, Amber Soja et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

  • Potential influence of the late Holocene climate on settled farming versus nomadic cattle herding in the Minusinsk Hollow, south-central Siberia

    Open AccessT A Blyakharchuk, N M Tchebakova et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2014

    Prehistoric and early historic human cultures are known to be closely connected to and dependent on their natural environments. We test the hypothesis that climate change influenced the means of subsistence of ancient tribes and favored agricultural or cattle herding economic strategies. Our study area is the Khakass–Minusinsk Hollow, located in the foothills of the Sayan Mountains, south-central Siberia, which was, for a few millennia, a buffer …

  • Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership Initiative: Evolution of scientific investigations to applicable science

    Open AccessA J Soja, Pavel Ya Groisman et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2012

    The letters collected in this focus issue of Environmental Research Letters on ‘Environmental, socio-economic and climatic changes in Northern Eurasia and their feedbacks to the global Earth system’ represent the third special issue based on the results of research within the Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership Initiative (NEESPI: http://neespi.org ) program domain. Through the years, NEESPI researchers have presented a diverse array of ar…

  • Agroclimatic potential across central Siberia in an altered twenty-first century

    Open AccessN M Tchebakova, E I Parfenova et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2011

    Humans have traditionally cultivated steppe and forest-steppe on fertile soils for agriculture. Forests are predicted to shift northwards in a warmer climate and are likely to be replaced by forest-steppe and steppe ecosystems. We analyzed potential climate change impacts on agriculture in south-central Siberia believing that agriculture in traditionally cold Siberia may benefit from warming. Simple models determining crop range and regression mo…

  • The frequency of forest fires in Scots pine stands of Tuva, Russia

    Open AccessГ А Иванова, G A Ivanova et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2010

    Forest fires resulting from long periods of drought cause extensive forest ecosystem destruction and can impact on the carbon balance and air quality and feed back to the climate system, regionally and globally. Past fire frequency is reconstructed for Tuvan Scots pine stands using dendrochronology and statistics. Central Tuvan Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) stands are subject to annual fire regimes; however high intensity fires are rare but they …

  • Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership Initiative

    Open AccessPavel Groisman, A J SojaARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2009

    The Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership Initiative (NEESPI) was launched five years ago with the release of its Science Plan (http://neespi.org). Gradually, the Initiative was joined by numerous international projects and launched in the European Union, Russia, United States, Canada, Japan, and China. Currently, serving as an umbrella for more than 130 individual research projects (always with international participation) and with a $15M a…

  • Ongoing climatic change in Northern Eurasia: Justification for expedient research

    Open AccessPavel Groisman, A J SojaARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2009

    A brief overview of the ongoing climatic and environmental changes in Northern Eurasia serves as an editorial introduction to this, the second, special Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership Initiative (NEESPI) focus issue of Environmental Research Letters. Climatic changes in Northern Eurasia over the last hundred years are reflected in numerous atmospheric and terrestrial variables. Many of these are noticeably significant above the confide…

  • The effects of climate, permafrost and fire on vegetation change in Siberia in a changing climate

    Open AccessN M Tchebakova, E I Parfenova et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2009

    Observations and general circulation model projections suggest significant temperature increases in Siberia this century that are expected to have profound effects on Siberian vegetation. Potential vegetation change across Siberia was modeled, coupling our Siberian BioClimatic Model with several Hadley Centre climate change scenarios for 2020, 2050 and 2080, with explicit consideration of permafrost and fire activity. In the warmer and drier clim…

  • Northern Hemisphere high latitude climate and environmental change

    Open AccessPavel Groisman, A J Soja et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2007

    High Northern Hemisphere latitudes are undergoing rapid and significant change associated with climate warming. Climatic change in this region interacts with and affects the rate of the global change through atmospheric circulation, biogeophysical, and biogeochemical feedbacks. Changes in the surface energy balance, hydrologic cycle, and carbon budget feedback to regional and global weather and climate systems. Two-thirds of the Northern Hemisphe…
