Siberia southern

Ozone depletion is by no means restricted to the Southern Hemisphere. In the extremely cold winter of 1994-1995, a similar "ozone hole" was found in the Arctic. Beyond that, the concentration of ozone in the atmosphere over parts of Siberia dropped by 40%. 

Clearly, aeolian processes were much more important at that time than at present. Large parts of the present temperate zone, from the cover sands of the Netherlands to the sand dunes in north-east Siberia are Ice Age (aeolian) sands. South and east of this cover sand belt lies a belt of loess deposits, extending from France, across Belgium, the southern Netherlands, Germany and large parts of Eastern Europe into the vast steppes of Russia, and further east to Siberia and China. A similar east-west loess belt exists in the USA and less extensive areas occur on the Southern Hemisphere, e.g. in the Argentinean pampas. 

Cannabis sativa L. (hemp) is a dioecious annual flowering plant. Marihuana is the Spanish name for the dried leaves and female flowering tops of the hemp plant. Hashish is the resin which originates from these female flowering tops. The hemp s natural homeland is most likely in the regions north of Afghanistan and the Altai mountains of southern Siberia (Russia). It is not clear when and where cultivation of hemp Cannabis sativa L.) started. It seems most likely that the cultivation of hemp may have originated in northeastern Asia (north and north-east China and southeastern Siberia). 

Peter Simon Pallas (1741—1811) was a native of Berlin. He was broadly educated in medicine, natural sciences, and modem languages, which he studied in Berlin, Halle, Gottingen, the Netherlands, and England. From 1768 until 1774 he made extended journeys at the request of Catherine II and suffered great privations in order to study the natural history of Siberia, the Altai Mountains, the lower Volga region, and the southern part of European Russia (47, 48, 49). 

The principal workings known at the present day are those of Australia, in the Southern hemisphere of California, Mexico, and the Appalachian mountains, in North America Brazil, Peru, and Chili, in South America Kordofan and Sofa]a In Africa tire Ural mountains in Siberia and Hungary in Europe. Gold i9 found, however, in smaller quantities in various other places and the Editor will now briefly indicate the J various localities in which it is known to exist, begin-ning with Europe, and conolading with the latest discoveries in Australia. 

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 third species of the marijuana plant, Cannabis ruderalis Janischewsky, was identified in 1924 in southern Siberia, but it also grows wild in other parts of Russia. Rarely over two feet tall, this species has little psychoactivity in its resin but matures much faster than the others (in about seven weeks). 

The changes in the rodent fauna are characterized by the gradual retreat of mice and the powerful influx of voles, mainly with rooted dentition Dolomys, Mimomys). The regional distribution of some of the species (e.g. Mimomys stehlini distributed from southern Spain through temperate Eurasia as far east as Siberia) renders them excellent stratum indicators.

Neurotropic mushrooms have been identified as far north as Alaska and Siberia in the northern hemisphere and as far south as Chile, Australia, and New Zealand in the southern hemisphere. They grow wild from California in the western United States of North America to China and Japan, and from sea level up to 4,000 m elevation (e.g., Psilocybe aztecorum in high mountains of Mexico). As Gartz (1996) has pointed out, The mushrooms occur in abundance wherever mycologists abound (Guzman, Allen, and Gartz 2000).

When the aurora is moderately active for several days, the auroral oval is approximately fixed with respect to the sun, and the Earth rotates under it once a day. The locus of the midnight portion of such an oval on a geographic map is called the auroral zone. This zone coincides with the belt of the maximum frequency of airroral visibility, and it passes over central Alaska, northern Canada, the southern tips of Greenland and Iceland, the northern tip of the Scandinavian Peninsula, and the Arctic Ocean coast in Siberia. The center line of this belt lies close to the geomagnetic latitude circle of 67°. The occurrence frequency of the aurora decreases away from this belt toward both higher and lower latitudes. 

A three-fold classification of early Ordovician continents is used, based on their inferred palaeolatitudes (1) low latitude continents, located between the palaeo-equator and 30° sonth and north Faurentia, Siberia, Kazakhstan, North China, South China, Sibumasu (Shan-Thai) terrane, AnstraUa, Tasmania, Precordillera (Cuyania) terrane, and NW Ireland terrane (2) mid-latitnde continents, between 30° and 60° latitude Baltica, eastern Avalonia, western Avalonia (inclnding central Newfoundland volcanics). Central Andean basin of NW Argentina, Bolivia and southern Peru, and the Famatina terrane (3) high latitude continents, between 60° and the palaeopoles NW Africa, Armorica, Iberia and Perunica.
