Notes

An excerpt characterizing the Aldan Highlands

From eight o'clock the rifle shots were joined by cannon fire. There were a lot of people on the streets, hurrying somewhere, a lot of soldiers, but just as always, cab drivers were driving, merchants were standing at the shops and services were going on in the churches. Alpatych went to the shops, to public places, to the post office and to the governor. In public places, in shops, at the post office, everyone was talking about the army, about the enemy who had already attacked the city; everyone asked each other what to do, and everyone tried to calm each other down.
At the governor's house Alpatych found large number people, Cossacks and a road crew that belonged to the governor. On the porch, Yakov Alpatych met two noblemen, one of whom he knew. A nobleman he knew, a former police officer, spoke heatedly.
“It’s not a joke,” he said. - Okay, who is alone? One head and poor - so alone, otherwise there are thirteen people in the family, and all the property... They brought everyone to disappear, what kind of boss is this after that?.. Eh, I would have outweighed the robbers...
“Yes, well, it will be,” said another.
- What do I care, let him hear! Well, we are not dogs,” said the former police officer and, looking back, he saw Alpatych.
- And, Yakov Alpatych, why are you there?
“By order of his Excellency, to Mr. Governor,” answered Alpatych, proudly raising his head and putting his hand in his bosom, which he always did when he mentioned the prince... “They deigned to order to inquire about the state of affairs,” he said.
“Well, just find out,” shouted the landowner, “they brought it to me, no cart, no nothing!.. Here she is, do you hear? - he said, pointing to the side where the shots were heard.
- They brought everyone to perish... robbers! - he said again and walked off the porch.
Alpatych shook his head and went up the stairs. In the reception room there were merchants, women, and officials, silently exchanging glances among themselves. The office door opened, everyone stood up and moved forward. An official ran out of the door, talked something with the merchant, called behind him a fat official with a cross on his neck and disappeared again through the door, apparently avoiding all the looks and questions addressed to him. Alpatych moved forward and the next time the official exited, putting his hand in his buttoned coat, he turned to the official, handing him two letters.

The area occupies southeastern part Central Siberia, between the Lena and Aldan rivers. In the south the border runs along tectonic fault at the Stanovoy Ridge. Orographically, the Aldan Highlands are clearly divided, where the heights of individual ridges reach 1800-2300 m, and the Prilenskoye Plateau, located between the valleys of the Lena and Aldan rivers. The watersheds of the plateau are dominated by heights of about 500-600 m, but some areas in the south rise to 700 m and more than 1000 m. River edges in the east of the region - about 100 m and below.

The Aldan erosion-denudation highland is a reflection of the Aldan Shield in the relief and is composed of crystalline and metamorphic rocks of the Archean, which are partially covered on the surface by sedimentary rocks of the Lower Cambrian and continental sediments of the Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous. Mesozoic deposits on the shield lie in the Prestanovy trough, which represents a zone of deep subsidence of the basement, where the thickness of Mesozoic coal-bearing sediments reaches up to 750 m. In the south the trough passes major fault, separating the Stanovoy Range from the Aldan Highlands. In the relief, the fault line is expressed as a ledge. The Aldan shield is riddled with intrusions of various ages.

To the north, the Archean rocks are submerged beneath the predominantly carbonate strata of the Lower Cambrian, which gently dip to the north (monoclinally). On the surface of the Cambrian there are patches of Jurassic sediments. The slope of the Aldan shield is expressed in relief by the Leno-Aldan erosional layered plateau. Ancient and modern karst processes occurring in Cambrian rocks are widespread on the plateau. In the Pliocene-Quaternary, the Aldan Highlands experienced greater uplift than the Leno-Aldan Plateau. Tectonic uplifts caused increased erosion and dismemberment of the territory. The rivers are deeply incised: they have up to 4-8 accumulative and basement terraces (Olekma, Lena River, Aldan River). Within the region there are four leveling surfaces (the highest is 1000-1300 m, the lowest - Lenskaya - 300-400 m) .

The climate of the area is characterized by cold winters with average January temperatures of -32, -40°, with long snow cover 220-240 days. Summer is warm on the Leno-Aldan plateau, where average temperature July is above +16°, and cool on the Aldan Highlands: the average temperature in July is about +12°. Annual precipitation - 200-300 mm on the Leno-Aldan plateau and 400-500 mm on the Aldan Highlands.

The soil and vegetation cover is diverse: on the Leno-Aldan plateau, mid-taiga larch forests predominate on frozen-taiga fawn (neutral) and solodized soils. Along the river valleys there are larch-pine forests and patches of meadow steppes (Amga Valley). The Aldan Highlands are dominated by mountain larch and larch-cedar forests on mountain permafrost-taiga soils and mountain permafrost-taiga carbonate soils. Forests rise along the slopes of the ridges to a height of 1200-1300 m. The higher slopes and peaks are covered with mountain tundra on mountain tundra soils.
