This is what the tundra-steppe looked like before the mass extinction of animals at the end of the Pleistocene, drawing by Anton Maurizzo 
In 1980, a bold experiment was launched in the north of Yakutia - a group of enthusiasts began, in a nature reserve near the city of Chersky, work on recreating the arctic upland meadows that disappeared thousands of years ago - the so-called tundrosteppe 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 tundro-steppes (unlike the tundra) were distinguished by high productivity 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 turn of the Pleistocene and Holocene (8-12 thousand years ago) are still debatable. Some scientists attribute this to climate warming and humidification, while others are looking 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 the Arctic latitudes (due to cold), the presence of grass-eating animals is necessary condition conservation of steppe landscapes. This is determined by the fact that in the arctic climate only herbivores are able to "process" the grass and return nutrients into the ground in the form of manure. With the disappearance of most herbivores at the end of the Pleistocene, the land was left without fertilizers, and in such conditions, fast-growing grasses were replaced by less demanding plants of the modern tundra. Such vegetation (mosses, lichens, tundra shrubs) does not require rich manured soils, but grows slowly and consumes little water (as a result, the tundra swamps). However, the plant communities of the mammoth prairies did not disappear without a trace - the 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.

Scientists assumed that by returning large herbivores to the tundra (such as bison, wild horses, red deer, musk oxen) will be able to restore the rich vegetation of the mammoth prairie in the vast territories that it occupied before. 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 on the basis of 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 the mammoth prairies (that is, replace the tundra with the arctic steppe). Initially, the project had a rather modest character - 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 animals grazed, only fast-growing grass and willow bushes remained.

Wood bison in Yakutia 
The next step was to create greater territory herds of several species of herbivores. In 2005, a new fence was completed covering an area of 160 square kilometers - in this area (in addition to horses) deer (several species), musk oxen and wood bison were to be settled. Key role at the same time, it was assigned to 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 mammal Arctic. By the beginning of the 20th century, these animals (who lived in Canada and Alaska, and until the 10th century AD - in Siberia) were practically destroyed, but in time Taken measures allowed to save animals in several reserves in northern Canada. The Canadian government has dedicated a small group of bison to 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 authorities of Yakutia preferred to create a bison nursery in the south of the republic in order to increase the herd and start resettling animals in the wild.
Recreated Pleistocene landscape - bison, deer and horses in the arctic steppes
Meanwhile, in 2010, it was delivered to the Pleistocene Park (in addition to the horses, elks and reindeer) the first batch of musk oxen, and in the spring of 2011 - bison and deer (Altai subspecies of the red deer). Bison appeared in the park as temporary or permanent "deputies" of 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 bison will be able to occupy the ecological niche of the ancient bison. If the experiment on the introduction of bison in northern Yakutia turns out to be unsuccessful, it is planned to replace the bison with wood bison (which were originally planned to be settled in the park). At present, the Pleistocene Park continues an experiment to recreate mammoth prairies - the park already has most of the large herbivores that inhabited the Pleistocene Yakutia and have survived to this day. In the future, it is planned to gradually increase the number of herbivores, and to add to the wolves and bears available in the Pleistocene Park, a large cat as a substitute for the one who once lived in Yakutia cave lion(Most likely, Amur tigers will be 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 of foreign scientists. Based on the results of the work of the North-Eastern Scientific Station, a number of articles have been 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, KM, SA Zimov, JP Chanton, D. Verbyla & FS 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 with modern equipment, including two state-of-the-art laboratories, which allows for 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 USA come to Chersky to work on their dissertations (for example, Katya Walter-Anthony's doctoral dissertation Methane emissions and biogeochemistry of North Siberian thermokarst lakes, written on the basis of materials collected while working at the North-Eastern Scientific Station. Received first place in the competition in 2006 graduates of US universities).The presence of a scientific station allowed Russian and American scientists to conduct a number of interesting studies - An example of a search for those preserved in conditions permafrost seeds of ancient plants (which allowed the team of David Gilichinsky to grow a narrow-leaved tarsus from seeds 30,000 years old).

Eine verruckte Idea? 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 Jubilee Year - What shall we eat?
I share worries about real everyday life, -
Today, the land-Nurse, for which many generations of ancestors shed seas of blood, is traded, rented out by a strange public, even without passports of its state of health. Hucksters suck out the remnants of juices, pump them up with pesticides, remove the fat and leave. . .
