Nature of Tyumen
Region The nature of Tyumen land is rich and various. Here
there are various natural climatic zones: the Arctic tundra on the Far North
changes into the typical tundra and forest-tundra, then into taiga,
forest-steppe and steppe in the south. The territory of the region is washed by waters of
the Kara Sea in the north, it differs by the advanced network of deep rivers,
universal spreading of lakes and plenty of underground waters, coming up here
and there through the earth as springs. The largest rivers
of the region, the Ob and the Irtysh, are navigable. The reservoirs of the
region are distinguished by rather high fish productivity and valuable
ichtyofauna by structure. The reserves of sig
and chastic fishes are significant: the Siberian sturgeon, sterlet, white
salmon, shchekur, pelyad, ryapushka, muksun, pyzhyan and Sosvinsky herring. The most part of territory (43 million hectares) is
covered with woods where birch, aspen grow in the south, in the forest-steppe;
in the north - pine, cedar, larch, silver fir, fir-tree prevail; on bogs -
alder, birch, willow. The woods are rich with berries: cowberries, bilberries,
cranberries, blueberries, and
mushrooms. The fur animals (mink, polar fox, red fox, sable, squirrel, muskrat,
hare), hoofs (lamb, wild-boar), brown bear, waterfowl (duck, geese) and
game-bird (partridge, capercailye, blackcock, hazel grouses) are very important
In hunting. The area has large ground resources: aggregate area
of agricultural lands is more than 4 million hectares, besides vast reindeer
pastures (53 million hectares). Agricultural lands are concentrated in the southern
part that is most favorable for agriculture, in the northern areas they are
mainly presented with pastures and haying. The climatic conditions and
agricultural lands of the area allow to grow grain, potatoes, majority of
vegetables, rough and juicy forages.
