Natural recovery of man-made disturbances in the west Siberian arctic and recommended species for rehabilitation
Vast areas in the Arctic are faced with widespread threats ranging from gas and oildevelopment to tourism (Sippola et al., 1995; Crawford, 1997; Forbes et al., 2001). EastEuropean and West Siberian parts of Russian Arctic have important resources of gas andoil and, thus, experience intensive mechani...

Vast areas in the Arctic are faced with widespread threats ranging from gas and oildevelopment to tourism (Sippola et al., 1995; Crawford, 1997; Forbes et al., 2001). EastEuropean and West Siberian parts of Russian Arctic have important resources of gas andoil and, thus, experience intensive mechanical impacts. By the mid-1990s, off-roadtransportation connected with geological prospecting had already resulted in severedamage of parts of the Y amal Peninsula. Y amal ecosystems are characterised by extremevulnerability and low restoration potential. The rate and patterns of their natural recoverydepend on the severity of the disturbance, latitudinal position and habitat type. Thoughonly 4.5% of the local flora species in surroundings of Bovanenkovo gas field (centralYamal) can be considered as active colonizers, natural recovery is conducted only byaboriginal species.
