Ideas about green economy and green development are closely linked to the sustainable development paradigm. In the 1970s, the Club of Rome for the first time formulated the main provisions of the model of sustainable development, which implies ensuring high environmental quality and maintaining sufficient natural resource potential for the long term. Various aspects of green and sustainable development acquire their meaningful expression only at the regional level. It is within a certain territory that least generalized assessments of natural resource potential and both the anthropogenic impact on nature components and their spatially differentiated consequences, assessment of the permissible change level and conservation of vegetation cover and biodiversity in general are possible. It is proposed to consider the green development at the regional level as one of the stages of the sustainable development. Sikhote-Alin is a unique mountain territory, where there are natural resource, economic, social and ecological-geographical conditions for forming and ensuring green economy and green development. At the same time, the green development of the Sikhote-Alin is considered as such a socio-economic development of the mountainous territory, where technogenic, anthropogenic impacts on the environment are minimized and high biodiversity of landscapes is preserved. Within the mountain system of Sikhote-Alin, in general, it is proposed to allocate three green development territories, Northern, Central and Southern, based on the similarity of natural resource structures and economic activities. These territories should have a special status to stimulate environmentally friendly economic activities, with the introduction of environmental restrictions and the achievement of rational nature management in general. The organization of monitoring of the green development territories is proposed.

Full textAbstract:
Water meadows or flooded meadows are known from many European countries. A historical irrigation system—catchworks—was identified in only one locality in Slovakia. This article brings a methodical approach to the identification of catchworks on mountain slopes. The main aim was to delineate catchworks using terrain and land use geospatial data intended to supplement existing data on catchworks from the field survey. The identification of shallow and narrow channels in the field is difficult, and their detection in a digital terrain model (DTM) and orthomosaic photos is also challenging. A detailed DTM elaborated from laser scanning data was not available. Therefore, we employed break lines of a Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) model created by EUROSENSE Ltd. 2017, Bratislava, Slovakia. to determine microtopographic features on mountain slopes. Orthomosaics with adjusted red (R) green (G) and blue (B) band thresholds (digital numbers) in a time sequence of 16 years (2002–2018) and the Normalized Green-Red Difference Index (NGRDI) (2018) determined vital herbaceous vegetation and higher biomass. In both cases, the vegetation inside wet functional catchworks was differently coloured from the surroundings. In the case of dry catchworks, the identification relied only on microtopography features. The length of catchworks mapped in the field (1939.12 m; 2013) was supplied with potential catchworks detected from geospatial data (2877.18; 2018) and their total length in the study area increased above 59.74% (4816.30 m). Real and potential catchworks predominantly occupied historical grassland (meadows and pastures) (1952–1957) (4430.31; 91.99%). This result corresponds with the findings of foreign studies referring that catchworks on mountain slopes were related to livestock activities. They are important elements of sustainable land use with a water retention function in traditional agricultural landscapes.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the work was to assess the epidemic situation on plague in the world and epizootic activity of natural plague foci of the Russian Federation in 2022. Following the implementation of comprehensive preventive interventions plans, there was a decrease in the epizootic activity of the Gorno-Altai high-mountain and Tuva mountain natural foci, the cessation of plague epizootics in the Central Caucasian high-mountain focus. The total area of epizootics in the Russian Federation in 2022 reached 248.3 km2, which is 7 times less than in 2021. Infected animals were not found in the Tersko-Sunzhensky low-mountain, Dagestan plain-piedmont, Caspian North-Western steppe, Volga-Ural steppe, Trans-Baikal steppe, Volga-Ural sandy, Caspian sandy, East Caucasian high-mountain natural foci. Persistence of tense epizootiological situation in 2023 is predicted for the territory of the Altai Republic and the Republic of Tuva. The prospects of using the GIS portal of the Russian Anti-Plague Institute “Microbe” of the Rospotrebnadzor for an operational assessment of the actual epidemiological situation in natural plague foci are substantiated.

Five strains of the genus Coelastrella were studied from the collections of live cultures of algae of the Institute of Biology, Syktyvkar, Russia (SYKOA Ch-045-09, SYKOA Ch-047-11, SYKOA Ch-072-17) and the Siberian Institute of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, Irkutsk, Russia (IRK-A 2, IRK-A 173). It was found that, despite their high morphological similarity, the strains have different phylogenetic relationships. The analysis of the 18S rDNA and ITS1-ITS2 showed that the studied strains belong to the species: C. terrestris (IRK-A 173), C. oocystiformis (SYKOA Ch-045-09; IRK-A 2) and C. aeroterrestrica (SYKOA Ch-047-11). The SYKOA Ch-072-17 strain is probably a new species for the genus. The results confirm the high phenotypic variability and hidden diversity among the representatives of this group of green algae.

Full textAbstract:
The spotted wing drosophila (SWD) Drosophila suzukii, Matsumura is a polyphagous for many stone and soft fruits species. The pest was recorded in 2014 at sweet cherry orchards in our country and has become a real pest, because SWD attack the fruit when they start to ripe. During 2017-2019 the study was carried out in the Institute of Mountain Stockbreeding and Agriculture in Troyan – Central part of the Balkans Mountain. For monitoring were used traps with red wine and apple vinegar. The first flies at the sweet cherry were found during the second decade of May and in the sour cherry - a little later, at the beginning of June, when the fruit start to ripe. The peak of the population dynamics was established in the second half of June, after which the density began to decreasing. It was found that D. suzukii was preferred more the sweet cherry fruits than sour cherry fruits.

Full textAbstract:
Mount Fuji (3776 m), Japan's highest mountain and one of the world's most picturesque stratovolcano was studied to give an overview of its hydrogeological features. The mountain was made from voluminous lava flows and pyroclastic materials produced through three generations of volcanic activities. The volcanic products, characterized by abundant pore spaces and fractures, play a role as productive aquifers by absorbing and storing rain and snow melt as groundwater and releasing it over a long period. Its foot slopes contain abundant water with Fuji-Five-Lakes in the north and hundreds of springs with enormous discharge to the south, leaving the upper slopes dry. Approximately 2.2 billion tons of rain and snow fall annually at Mt. Fuji, and ~4.5 million tons of groundwater is stored each day in average. The total amount of spring or groundwater discharge from Mt. Fuji is estimated at 6.55 x 106 m3/day and that in its southwestern slopes is ~1.76 x 106 m3/day. Rain and snow falling above the altitude of ~1,000 m is their main source of recharge. The water provides vital resources for the people living around it; however, over exploitation of this resource have already caused some decline in its quality and quantity.Journal of Institute of Science and Technology, 2014, 19(1): 96-105

Full textAbstract:
Mountain hemlock dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium tsugense (Rosendahl) G.N. Jones subsp. mertensianae Hawksw. & Nickrent, Viscaceae) commonly parasitizes mountain hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana (Bong.) Carr.) from the central Sierra Nevada Mountains to the southern Cascades in Oregon (1,3). It has also been reported to commonly parasitize whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis Engelm.) and occasionally western white pine (P. monticola Dougl. ex D. Don) (1,4). In September of 2008, we found mountain hemlock dwarf mistletoe infecting two sugar pines (P. lambertiana Dougl.) 4.5 km north of Windigo Pass, Oregon (42°24′40″N, 123°35′26″W, elevation 2,710 m). One of the sugar pines was 63.5 cm (25 inches) in diameter and had three infections. The other tree was 22.4 cm (9 inches) in diameter, but had 17 infections, many with mistletoe plants that allowed identification of the mistletoe using published descriptions (1,2). Mountain hemlock dwarf mistletoe can be distinguished from sugar pine dwarf mistletoe (A. californicum Hawksw. & Wiens) by its smaller plant size (mean height 5 cm versus 8 cm) and plant color (green-brown versus green to yellow) (1,2). An area (site) of approximately 1 ha around the infected sugar pines was examined and none of the other sugar pines we observed (33 trees) were found to be infected. Because mountain hemlock dwarf mistletoe also occurs in the principal range of sugar pine in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, it may also parasitize this tree there. However, our observations in several mountain hemlock stands infested with mountain hemlock dwarf mistletoe in California have failed to uncover infection of sugar pine by this mistletoe. Therefore, we would tentatively classify sugar pine as a rare host of mountain hemlock dwarf mistletoe (1). Specimens of mountain hemlock dwarf mistletoe on sugar pine were collected and deposited at the Deaver Herbarium (ASC), Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff (Accession No. 87122). To our knowledge, this is the first report of mountain hemlock dwarf mistletoe parasitizing sugar pine. References: (1) F. G. Hawksworth and D. Wiens. USDA For. Serv. Agric. Handb. 709, 1996. (2) F.

Full textAbstract:
The Prospect Rock Fault (PRF) is key to our understanding of the regional tectonic evolution of Vermont during the Taconic, Salinic, and Acadian Orogenies, and may have played an important role in the exhumation of blueschist and eclogite-facies rocks in the Tillotson Peak Complex (TPC) during the Taconic Orogeny. The TPC is in the footwall of the PRF in the eastern limb of the Green Mountain Anticlinorium. In the TPC, the dominant foliation is S2 and E-W trending F2 folds parallel L2 stretching lineations, which trend orthogonal to regional N-S trending folds associated with the Taconic Orogeny. The PRF itself is folded by F2 folds. Presently, there is a lack of consensus about the role of the PRF in the exhumation of the TPC, and studies have not reconciled the formation of the E-W folds and lineations to a regional model.
Oriented samples and structural data were collected from the footwall of the PRF over several transects. Samples were processed into orthogonal thin sections for microstructural analyses and for 40Ar/39Ar step heating of white mica. The dominant foliations in the PRF samples were identified through microstructural analysis and correlating the age of deformation as S2 and S3. These were defined in thin section by mica and quartz microlithons, and oriented mica grains. S1, and in some samples S2, are locally preserved in some mica domains and albite/garnet inclusion trails. S4 appears as crenulations of S3, with no significant new mineral crystallization. In the field, L2 and L3 lineations are defined by mineral and quartz rods, and L4 lineations are defined as intersection lineations on S2 surfaces.
40Ar/39Ar analyses yielded plateau ages ranging from 458.6 ± 2.0 Ma to 419.0 ± 2.4 Ma (1σ). The oldest plateau ages are just slightly younger, yet concordant, with published and new 40Ar/39Ar ages from the TPC and come from the structurally highest portions of the footwall in the northern part of the study area. Virtually all apparent age spectra show age gradients. Results from this study suggest the PRF played a role in exhumation of the TPC and ages obtained are closely aligned with deformation ages constrained from 40Ar/39Ar dating in southern Quebec for the Taconic D2 and Salinian D3 deformation. These dates may aid correlatation of ages and structures regionally and further refining of tectonostratigraphic models describing southern Quebec and New England.

Full textAbstract:
A self-defined sustainability movement crystallized between the late 1970s and the 1990s. No longer was sustainability merely a concept or set of ideas. There was now a set of organizations—the Worldwatch Institute, the Rocky Mountain Institute, the United Nations (UN ), and so on—that promoted something called “sustainability” and a growing number of individuals who sought to “live sustainably.” Scholars began to describe in vivid detail what a sustainable society might look like and discussed in no uncertain terms the unsustainability of modern industrial society. In 1975, a conference was held near Houston, Texas, on “how a modern society might be organized to provide a good life for its citizens without requiring ever-increasing population growth, energy resource use, and physical output.” A stream of books between 1976 and 1981 drew on cutting-edge science and ecological economics to sketch out the “qualitative components of a sustainable society.” In the 1980s, sustainability became the centerpiece of international agreements; a strategy objective for at least some nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), businesses, and governments and a philosophy of balance and durability with a wide range of applications. It found its greatest champion in the United Nations though, which recast sustainability as “sustainable development” and integrated its principles into international accords. Sustainability had thus become part of a political agenda and a clearly articulated ecological philosophy, and a plethora of frameworks, systems, and models were developed as a means of studying, measuring, and advancing its central tenets. This is the period, for instance, in which the three Es appeared as the basic model for sustainability. By the 1990s, sustainists had begun implementing principles of sustainability into economic analyses, planning commissions (on all governmental levels), the energy sector, education, agriculture, housing, transportation, business operations, and many other domains. The media picked up on the term, too, and sustainability became, by the end of the century, a buzzword meant to signify anything associated with green values. This chapter offers a brief overview of the formation, triumphs, and challenges of the sustainability movement at the end of the twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
On Wednesday morning September 21, 1795, only a year after he was appointed president of Yale College, forty-four-year-old Timothy Dwight began the first of his thirteen excursions through New England and upstate New York. On six of his thirteen trips, he traveled through the Connecticut Valley, a valley he was familiar with since childhood and was linked to by both family and sentiment. The Connecticut River Valley was changing, as Dwight made his several trips through it. It was transformed under the impact of human activity. Increasingly, mill dams and factory villages were being built along the river and its tributaries. Technology, science, and the market were restructuring the way people were interacting with their environment. The land became less wild. That “civilizing” of nature, as Dwight called it, began first on the alluvial soils of the lower and central valley in the eighteenth century and then spread north and up into the hill country in the early years of the nineteenth century. By the end of the fifth decade of the nineteenth century, this new world had pretty much taken shape, and valley residents began to take stock of the changes that had occurred. Dwight began this process of accounting at the beginning stages of that transformation. And it was in the Connecticut River Valley that the changes made the biggest impact on him. At the center of the Connecticut Valley runs New England’s largest waterway. The Connecticut River flows south some four hundred miles from a series of small lakes in the swampy district of northern New Hampshire on the Canadian border. It eventually spills into Long Island Sound at Saybrook, Connecticut. To the west and east of the river are mountain ranges, the Housatonic and Green Mountains to the west and the White Mountains to the east. In northern New Hampshire and Vermont, the river travels through a narrow and rough mountain valley. As the river moves south into central Vermont and New Hampshire, the valley widens, particularly on the river’s western shore, and is intersected with tributary rivers and valleys.

ABSTRACT The vertebrate paleontology, lithostratigraphies, and depositional environments of the Cenozoic continental Titus Canyon and Furnace Creek Formations have been the subjects of several recent investigations. The two units are exposed in the Amargosa Range in northeastern Death Valley National Park, Inyo County, southeastern California, USA. Fossil tracks and trackways are preserved in playa mudflat deposits of the Pliocene Furnace Creek Formation at the Cow Creek tracksite on the western slope of the central Funeral Mountains. The tracksite includes footprints of birds and land mammals, as well as associated sedimentary structures. The lower red beds of the Titus Canyon Formation have produced numerous fossilized bones and teeth at Titus and upper Titanothere Canyons in the southeastern half of the Grapevine Mountains. The fossil remains represent 17 extinct genera and species of land mammals and one genus and species of pond turtle. The taxa constitute the Titus Canyon Fauna. The rodents Quadratomus? gigans and Dolocylindrodon texanus, the bear dog Daphoenictis n. sp. (small), and the tapir Colodon stovalli are associated elsewhere only in the correlative, late early late Duchesnean Upper Porvenir Local Fauna of Trans-Pecos or Far West Texas. The local fauna occurs in the Blue Cliff Horizon (i.e., above lower marker bed) in the lower part of the Chambers Tuff Formation. The two assemblages share 12 species. The age of the latter unit is constrained by corrected single-crystal laser-fusion 40Ar/39Ar dates of 37.83 ± 0.09 Ma for the underlying Buckshot Ignimbrite and 37.14 ± 0.08 Ma for the overlying Bracks Rhyolite. However, both determinations should be considered tentative and subject to change with further investigation. The first green conglomerate unit of the Titus Canyon Formation overlies the lower red beds, underlies the Monarch Canyon Tuff Bed, and has produced the first records of land mammal footprints and a land plant (petrified palm wood) from the formation. The Monarch Canyon Tuff Bed and the Unit 38 Tuff Bed, which lies at the mutual tops of the upper “red beds” and the Titus Canyon Formation, are 34.7 ± 0.7 m.y. old and 30.4 ± 0.6 m.y. old, respectively, based on recalculated 40Ar/39Ar dates. Consequently, the Titus Canyon Formation is latest middle Eocene to earliest Oligocene in age, according to the 2020 Paleogene time scale.

Full textAbstract:
Alpine tundra is an intriguing ecosystem—for its beauty as well as for the harsh climate in which it exists. Contrasted against jagged rock precipices and snow and ice and subjected to rapid changes in weather, the tundra, with its proliferation of diminutive flowers, appears deceptively fragile. John Muir, in detailing the alpine of the Sierra Nevada, was at a loss to adequately describe “the exquisite beauty of these mountain carpets as they lie smoothly outspread in the savage wilderness” (Muir 1894). Despite this aesthetic fascination for the alpine, it is one of the least studied ecosystems in the world. Significant effort has been expended to describe the physiological ecology of alpine organisms (e.g., Bliss 1985; Carey 1993; Körner 1999) and community patterns (Komárková 1979; Billings 1988), but there have been no syntheses detailing alpine ecosystem processes and patterns to the degree that they have been described in the arctic (e.g., Chapin 1992) and forest (e.g., Likens and Bormann 1995) ecosystems. The goal of this book is to provide a description of the Niwot Ridge/Green Lakes Valley alpine ecosystem of the Front Range in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, including the spatial and temporal patterns of animals, plants, and microorganisms and the associated ecosystem processes. The book focuses on the strengths of the research carried out on Niwot Ridge during the past four decades, particularly physical factors influencing alpine ecology (climate and geomorphology), patterns and functions of the vegetation, and N biogeochemistry. While the book focuses on a particular site, the results can be extrapolated to much of the southern and central Rocky Mountains, and thus it pertains to a broader geographic and scientific scope and will be of direct interest to ecologists in general as well as to those interested in ecosystems in extreme environments. There are numerous justifications for a synthesis of alpine ecosystem studies. While alpine tundra occupies only about 3% of the global land surface (Körner 1995) and thus has little impact on atmosphere-biosphere exchange, its presence at the extreme climatic tolerance for many organisms and its presence on every continent make it a good “indicator” system for regional environmental change.

The protected landscape (PL) of Biambare is one of the most famous green sites for local visitors and tourists of Sarajevo. This area is distinguished by beautiful Bosnian Alps (Dinarids) meadows and plenty of spectacular natural phenomena, especially caves; the Central Biambare Cave is currently the most popular. The terrain is situated at an elevation range of 915–1044 m above sea level, so it mostly has a pleasant pre-mountain climate, etc. Therefore, tourism supply is based on different products and activities: speleology; walking in nature; bicycling; riding; hiking; alpinism; fishing; hunting; skiing; and collecting medicinal herbs and mushrooms. The aim of the paper is to represent the Biambare tourist image based on identifying its central natural attributes and according to the evaluation of the visitor’s experience. The two relevant parameters for understanding tourist impressions are: “satisfaction” and “loyalty”. These are higher among foreign than resident visitors, particularly among Middle Eastern tourists, who favour this site above many others in Canton Sarajevo.
