At 13 million square kilometres Asian Russia, east of the Urals towards the Pacific, accounts for 77 per cent of Russia's land area. Its population, however, accounts for just 27 per cent of the country's people and is concentrated along the forest-steppe in the south, with its comfortable climate and fertile soil.</p>\n<p>Previous human migrations have been associated with climate change. As civilizations developed technology that enabled them to adapt, humans became less reliant on the environment, particularly in terms of climate. Now with climate change, a significant part of Asian Russia can become more habitable for humans.</p>\n<p>There are three important parameters which decide the human livelihood & well-being- <strong>Ecological Landscape Potential (ELP), winter severity, and permafrost coverage</strong>. These three parameters could turn favourable for Asian Russia(if global warming gets worse) and if that happens then the territory will become more sustainable and become attractive to human populations. However, suitable land development depends on the authorities' social, political and economic policies. Lands with developed infrastructure and high agricultural potential would obviously be populated first.</p>\n<p><strong>Asian Russia is currently extremely cold. In a future warmer climate, food security in terms of crop distribution and production capability is likely to become more favourable for people to support settlements.</strong></p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"f3yah253p","appParentAuthor":"crypto-wisdom","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
