Abstract

In the context of the active development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF), it is extremely important to analyze the status of its lake fund and potential changes in the ecological state of lake ecosystems that are expected in connection with the existing plans for the development of the northern territories. This analysis will make it possible to form a program for studying and monitoring lakes aimed at the rational use of their natural potential, including providing the population with water of adequate quality and preventing water-caused environmental disasters, which could be fraught with negative environmental changes and a decrease in biodiversity.

The AZRF contains ∼2/3 of the country’s bodies of water. The regional evaluation of the status of the lake ecosystems of the Russian Arctic indicates that significant changes currently cover no more than half of the lakes and only some water bodies can be characterized as extremely dangerous. However, as the Arctic is being developed, the number of regions with a deteriorating ecological situation is steadily growing, and many problems arising in water ecosystems are not solved because of a lack of data. Proposals are put forward by the authors of this article that seem to them of paramount importance in forming the AZRF development program. It is emphasized that its implementation without the proper environmental component will lead to a significant expansion of the pollution geography of Arctic water bodies.

俄罗斯联邦北极区湖基金的地位

摘要

在俄罗斯联邦北极地区（AZRF）积极发展的背景下，分析其湖泊资金的状况以及与现有计划相关的预期湖泊生态系统生态状况的潜在变化非常重要。为北部地区的发展。这项分析将有可能形成一项旨在合理利用湖泊自然潜力的研究和监测湖泊的方案，包括为居民提供足够质量的水，并防止因水造成环境负面变化而引起的水灾。以及生物多样性的减少。

AZRF包含该国约2/3的水域。对俄罗斯北极地区湖泊生态系统状况的区域评估表明，目前的重大变化覆盖的湖泊不超过一半，只有一些水体可被描述为极其危险。然而，随着北极的发展，生态状况恶化的地区数量正在稳步增长，由于缺乏数据，水生态系统中出现的许多问题未能得到解决。提案由本文的作者提出，在他们看来对于形成AZRF开发计划至关重要。需要强调的是，如果没有适当的环境因素进行实施，将导致北极水体的污染地理显着扩大。
