T. troglodytes is a large, plump white aphid found on the roots of Jerusalem artichoke and other Helianthus spp. it is invariably attended by ants. This species occurs in Europe, western Siberia, Central Asia, and Japan (Blackman and Eastop, 2000 Eastop, 1953). 

In the European part of the former USSR iodine deficiency areas cover vast territories in the north and west of Russia, Baltic states, Belorussia, western part of Ukraine, the Urals, the Caucasus. Iodine deficiency is also common for the Asian part of the country Siberia, Central Asia, Far East. About 65% of inhabited territory of CIS is considered to be iodine deficient. 

This study aims to calculate the critical loads of acidity, eutrophication and heavy metal (Pb, Cd) compounds in the vast area of Eurasia along the natural gas pipeline Yamal-West and quantitatively estimate the environmental risk at the surrounding ecosystems. The relevant research was conducted during 1994-2000 for total pipeline length (>3,000 km) including 21 gas pumping stations, from the northernmost part at the Yamal peninsula (north of West Siberia) up to the central western part of European Russia. 

There is evidence for Cannabis use as early as 5,000 B.C. in Central Europe and there are probable references to it in the earliest writings of China and Egypt. The frozen tombs of the inhabitants of Siberia in about 500 B.C. have yielded quantities of seeds along with a variety of devices for burning them. A very hot, dry climate appears necessary for producing grass with high psychedelic activity, which may account for the failure to use Cannabis as an intoxicant in Northwestern Europe. ... 

The large (over 100 kg) seizures show no clear pattern, and thus were probably not the product of a single organization. Three were made in Moscow, but some were made in quite remote locations. The site of the largest, Tynda district, is deep in Siberia, north of the Chinese border - the town of Tynda has a population of about 40,000. Very few large seizures have been reported in the Central Asian countries in recent years. 

Hard-working and successful small farmers remained productive and were an affront to Soviet collectivism. Referring to these enterprising farmers as kulaks (clenched fist in Russian), Stalin orchestrated the liquidation of kulaks as a class. Thousands were executed, and millions were deported to Siberia or Central Asia. 

By the year 2010 Russia plans to produce totally 635-665 bcm of natural gas, including an export potential of 140-150 bcm for supplying the European market (excluding republics of the Former Soviet Union). By 2020 the production of Russian gas will reach roughly 680-730 bcm with about 160-165 bcm export to Europe per annum [17]. The planned level of exports to Europe seems realistic provided Central Asian gas is available at a price lower than the alternative price of gas from new Russian fields (for instance in Siberia, the Barents Sea, the Yamal peninsula and Sakhalin). 

Estimates place the world reserves of natural gas hydrates as being in the region of 5 X 1013 m3 on land, mostly in the permafrost regions of Alaska and Siberia, as well as a further 5-25 X 1015 m3 of gas in the oceans, particularly around Central America. This figure is around twice that of the total fossil fuel reserve this is an enormous wealth of energy which will become increasingly important as fossil fuels run out. Indeed, in the Russian Federation the enormous gas hydrate deposit at Messoyakha has been used as a natural gas source since 1971.

One of the most important influences is the site location or, more precisely, the latitude of cultivation. It has been noted for some time that in the northern hemisphere there is a marked trend for volatile oil contents to increase as one progresses from south to north. Even in the extremely cold and short growing seasons in Norway and Siberia, exceptionally good volatile oil contents, superior to those of many areas in central and southern Europe, have been reported (Gil et al., 2002). 

The vocation of shaman is found in nearly all archaic cultures, from the Australian aborigines to the Jivaro Indians of central Ecuador and Pern to the Yakut tribes of Siberia. It is believed to have originated among these Siberian peoples, though its diffusion into other cultures must have taken place very early in prehistory for, along with sorcerers, magicians, and priests, shamanism can be counted among the oldest of professions. 

The best characterized noncratonic, spinel peridotite xenoliths for PGEs are those from southeastern Australia (Handler and Bennett, 1999), the Massif Central, France (Lorand and Alard, 2001), Western USA (Morgan et al., 1981 Lee, 2002) and Vitim, Siberia (Pearson et al,... 

The winter warmth after the Pinatubo emption was concentrated over Scandinavia and Siberia and central North America. These temperature anomalies were associated with marked departures in sea-level pressure patterns in the first northern winter. There was a pole-ward shift and strengthening of North Atlantic westerlies at —60° N, associated with corresponding shifts in the positions and strengths of the Iceland Low and Azores High. These effects have been modeled as a result of changes to the atmospheric circulation around the Arctic (the Arctic Oscillation Thompson and Wallace (1998)) arising from the differential heating effects of the volcanic aerosol... 

World potassium reserves. The world reserves of K are now estimated at over 48 Pg of recoverable K2O. Canadian deposits represent 37% of the world s known reserves, Russian deposits 49%, and the remainder is distributed among the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa, smd South America (Adams, 1968). There are unproven deposits of K salts in Tunisia and Libya, as well as subsurface brines in Niger and Nigeria. Undoubtedly there are other significant reserves as yet undiscovered in sparsely explored areas, such as Central America, Siberia, eastern Canada, and Australia. 

The future for production of scarce metals clearly lies with those continents where prospectors have not yet scoured every comer. These are, mainly, the less inhabited portions of Asia, such as Siberia, the central and... 

Around the seventh century B.C., yet another swarm of Aryan warriors came out of central Siberia looking for new lands upon which to graze their animals. This time they claimed a vast territory stretching from northern Greece and beyond the Black Sea to the Altai Mountains in central Siberia as their new homeland. 

On the other hand, the abundant silicon powder formation was monitored in Podsoluvisols and Phaerozems at 0.5-2.0 m depth in Forest Steppe Ecosystems of Central Russian Plain, Sonth Siberia, Amnr River valley, and Manjury region of China. In this case, the most reasonable explanation is connected with the deposition of silicon from glacial melting waters after the glaciation period. 

The likely sources of energy for the future are atomic and solar. Atomic reactors can provide electricity which would be cheaper as the reactors increase in size, but with size comes the difficulty of thermal pollution, so that large atomic reactors, which would give relatively cheap electricity at source, would have to be placed either on the ocean, far from population centers, or in remote areas such as Northern Canada, Siberia, or Central Australia.

P. depressa Willd. syn. P. tibetica Hook is a central Asian species and occurs in Ural Mountains through Siberia, Mongolia, Manchuria, Sakhalin and western Himalaya to Garhwal at altitude of 2,500 m. 

FIGURE 3 The relation between volumetric water content (6, m m b and suction (S, kPa) for sand and silt loam mineral soils (solid squares and line and open squares and dashed line, respectively) and humus (i.e., organic matter solid triangles and line). The sand came from the upper 0.1-m depth of soil beneath a stand of Piiuis sylvestris trees located in central Siberia (Kelliher et al., 1998), the silt loam from the 0.2-0.3-m depth of soil beneath a stand of Larix ginelinii trees in eastern Siberia (Kelliher et al., 1997), and the humus from depth 0.14 m in a 0.3-m- deep fore.st floor beneath a stand of Tsuga heterophylla and Thuja pliaita trees near Vancouver, Canada (Plamandon et al., 1975).
