This is what the tundra-steppes looked like before mass extinction animals at the end of the Pleistocene, drawing by Anton Maurizzo 
In 1980, in the north of Yakutia, a bold experiment was launched - a group of enthusiasts began, in a reserve near the city of Chersky, work on recreating Arctic dry meadows that had disappeared thousands of years ago - the so-called tundra-steppe or mammoth steppe. This landscape represented cold and dry arctic steppes (and forest-steppes) and in the past occupied territories climatically corresponding to the modern tundra. The tundra-steppes (unlike the tundra) were highly productive and abounded in large animals - in a short summer period the plants grew so rapidly that they were enough to feed huge herds of bison, horses, mammoths and other herbivores (their number was no less than the number of large animals in the savannas of Africa).
Fauna of the tundra-steppe and modern fauna of Africa 
The reasons for the death of the tundra-steppe biocenosis at the boundary of the Pleistocene and Holocene (8-12 thousand years ago) are still debatable. Some scientists associate this with warming and humidification of the climate, others look for the reason in the extermination of large animals by primitive hunters. The last group of scientists proceeds from the following premises: since dead grass does not decompose in Arctic latitudes (due to cold), then the presence of grass-eating animals is a necessary condition conservation of steppe landscapes. This is determined by the fact that in arctic climate only herbivores are able to “recycle” grass and return nutrients to the ground in the form of manure. With the disappearance of most herbivores at the end of the Pleistocene, the earth was left without fertilizers, and in such conditions fast-growing grasses were replaced by less fastidious plants of the modern tundra. Such vegetation (mosses, lichens, tundra shrubs) does not require rich manure soils, but grows slowly and consumes little water (as a result, the tundra becomes swampy). However plant communities The mammoth prairies did not disappear without a trace - relict areas of the tundra-steppes were preserved in the polar latitudes on the southern slopes of the hills, where the soil is better warmed by the sun.

Head of the North-Eastern Scientific Station of the Russian Academy of Sciences Sergei Afanasyevich Zimov
Scientists assumed that by returning large herbivores (such as bison, wild horses, red deer, musk oxen) to the tundra, it would be possible to restore the rich vegetation of mammoth prairies in the vast territories that they previously occupied. To test this hypothesis, near the city of Chersky (in the north of Yakutia at the mouth of the Kolyma River), an experiment called “Pleistocene Park” was launched at the North-Eastern Scientific Station of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The idea of the experiment was to concentrate on a limited area a large number of wild herbivores, artificially restore the vegetation of mammoth prairies (that is, replace the tundra with the Arctic steppe). Initially, the project was quite modest in nature - a herd of Yakut horses was released on a fenced plot of land of 50 hectares. Horses turned the tundra into a kind of dry lawn - non-stop eating and trampling of vegetation, coupled with manure of the land, led to the fact that in the “kraal” where the animals grazed, only fast-growing grasses and willow bushes remained.

Wood bison in Yakutia 
The next step was related to the creation of larger territory herds of several types of herbivores. In 2005, a new fence was completed covering an area of 160 square kilometers - this area was to accommodate (in addition to horses) deer (several species), musk oxen and wood bison. A key role was played by the Canadian wood bison (not to be confused with the more famous steppe bison). After the disappearance of mammoths and woolly rhinoceroses, the wood bison is the most large mammals Arctic. By the beginning of the 20th century, these animals (living in Canada and Alaska, and until the 10th century AD - in Siberia) were practically destroyed, but in time Taken measures allowed the conservation of animals in several reserves in northern Canada. The Canadian government has allocated a small group of bison to help restore the bison population in Eastern Siberia. Initially, it was assumed that the animals would be sent to the “Pleistocene Park,” but in the end, the Yakut authorities preferred to create a bison nursery in the south of the republic, in order to increase the herd and begin resettling the animals into the wild.
Recreated Pleistocene landscape - bison, deer and horses in the Arctic steppes
Meanwhile, in 2010, the Pleistocene Park was delivered (in addition to the horses, elk and reindeer) the first batch of musk oxen, and in the spring of 2011 - bison and deer (Altai subspecies red deer). Bison appeared in the park as temporary or permanent “substitutes” for the wood bison. Both the bison and the wood bison descend from the ancient bison that inhabited the north of Eurasia (and in particular Yakutia) during the Ice Age, but in historical times the bison lived in deciduous forests, and the question of their ability to adapt to life in the Arctic remains open. Perhaps the bison will be able to occupy ecological niche ancient bison. If the experiment on the introduction of bison into northern Yakutia turns out to be unsuccessful, it is planned to replace the bison with wood bison (which were originally planned to be housed in the park). Currently, an experiment to recreate mammoth prairies is ongoing in the “Pleistocene Park” - the park already contains most of the large herbivores that inhabited Pleistocene Yakutia and have survived to this day. In the future, it is planned to gradually increase the number of herbivores and add wolves and bears to those existing in the “Pleistocene Park”, big cat as a substitute for someone who once lived in Yakutia cave lion(Amur tigers are most likely introduced into the park).
Equipment in the laboratory of the North-Eastern Scientific Station of the Russian Academy of Sciences
The bold experiment of Russian scientists aroused great interest among foreign scientists. Based on the results of the work of the North-Eastern Scientific Station, a number of articles were published in the journals Science and Nature, for example Zimov, S.A. "Pleistocene Park: Return of the Mammoth's Ecosystem." Science 308.5723 (2005): 796-798 or Walter, K. M., S. A. Zimov, J. P. Chanton, D. Verbyla & F. S. Chapin III. "Methane bubbling from Siberian thaw lakes as a positive feedback to climate warming." Nature 443.7107 (2006): 71-75 Today the station is equipped modern equipment including two the latest laboratories, which allows year-round research in the field of biology, as well as geophysics and atmospheric physics. Its prestige is so high that graduate students from the United States come to Chersky to work on their dissertations (for example, the doctoral dissertation of Katya Walter-Anthony, written on the basis of materials collected while working at the North-Eastern Research Station, Methane emissions and biogeochemistry of North Siberian thermokarst lakes. Received in 2006, first place in the competition for US university graduates). The presence of a research station allowed Russian and American scientists to conduct a number of interesting studies - for example, the search for preserved permafrost seeds of ancient plants (which allowed the team of David Gilichinsky to grow angustifolia from seeds 30 thousand years ago).

Eine verruckte Idee? Mit Elchen, Bisons und jakutischen Pferden will Familie Zimow den Klimawandel verlangsamen - ein besonderes Vorhaben und eine besondere Familie. In Russlands fernem Osten, in Tscherski am Kolyma-Fluss, haben Vater und Sohn Zimow eine Polarstation aufgebaut, wo auslandische Wissenschaftler die Ursachen und Folgen der globalen Erwarmung studieren. Noch zu Zeiten der Sowjetunion zog der Wissenschaftler Sergej nach Tscherski. Seitdem erforscht er Russlands Permafrost, die dauerhaft tiefgefrorene Erde der Arktis. Er war einer der ersten, der feststellte, dass aus den Seen der Arktis Methan entweicht - ein Klimakillergas.

Alas, heavy thoughts in the Year of Jubilee, - What will we eat?
I share my worries about real everyday life, -
Nowadays, the Earth-Nurse, for which many generations of ancestors shed seas of blood, is traded and leased by a strange public, even without passports of its health status. The hucksters suck out the remaining juices, pump them full of pesticides, skim off the fat and throw them away. . .
