Dauria Tájai Térkép
Dauriya (, also romanized as ''Dauriia'' or ''Dauria'') is a historical and geographical region of Russia spanning modern Buryatia, Zabaykalsky Krai and the Amur Region. The toponym is given according to the Daur people who inhabited the region until the middle of the 17th century, about whom it first became known after the expedition of Enalei Bakhteyarov in 1640. The informal term "Dauriya" may be expanded to adjacent territories of Mongolia and even parts of China, see, e.g., Daurian forest steppe History Cossack exploration Rumors about the riches of the Daurian land prompted the Yakutia governor to send in 1643 a detachment of 133 Cossacks with a cannon under the command of Vassili Poyarkov.

The Daurian forest steppe ecoregion (WWF ID: PA0804) is a band of grassland, shrub terrain, and mixed forests in northeast Mongolia and the region of Siberia, Russia that follows the course of the Onon River and Ulz River, and part of the northwestern China. The region has been described as a "sea of grass that forms the best and most intact example of an undisturbed steppe ecosystem and is also one of the last areas in the Palearctic that still supports stable herds of larger vertebrates" in a semi-mountainous area. The area also has flat wetlands that are important to migratory birds. The ecoregion is in the Palearctic realm, with a dry-winter subarctic climate (Köppen climate classification, Köppen ''Dwc'') that borders on a very cold semi-arid climate (''BSk'') in its southwestern parts. It covers . Location and description The ecoregion circles around half of the Khentii Mountains, then stretches over 1,000 kilometers east of Ulan Bator into northeastern Mongolia through t ...

Torey Lakes
The Torey Lakes are a pair of soda lakes, Barun-Torey and Zun-Torey, in Russia's Zabaykalsky Krai, on the border with Mongolia — the Mongolia–Russia border runs across the southern tip of Zun-Torey lake. Geography and hydrography The two lakes are the remains of a large lake or sea whose surface, according to Shamsutdinov (1983), once reached some 700,000 years ago. They are the largest soda lakes in the arid zone in the trans-Baikal region. They lie close to one another, connected by the Utochi channel, in a closed basin with no outlet to the sea. The size and volume of water in the lakes varies greatly with the region's multi-decadal rainfall and climate cycles. These interdecadal cycles last from 27 years to 35 years; they depend on variations in atmospheric moistening: relatively moist and very cold periods alternate with dry and relatively warm periods. For example, Barun-Torey lake completely dried up in summer 2009, and started refilling in 2013; Zun-Torey lake dried ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
