East European Plain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The East European Plain (Eastern-European Lowland, Eastern European Lowlands, or Eastern European Plain) is a mountain-free part of the European landscape, in fact, the lagest feature thereof. It stretches from the Ural Mountains and covers most of the European part of Russia, Baltic states, Belarus, most of Ukraine, Moldova, East Poland and West Kazakhstan. It is bounded by the White Sea and the Barents Sea in the North, Ural Mountains, Ural River and the Caspian Sea in the East, Caucasus Mountains anf the Black Sea in the South, Carpathian Mountains and other mountainous features in Poland in the West. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/East_European_Plain

POLAND - INTRODUCTION To the north of the Central Lowlands is the Baltic Heights region, dotted with hills and lakes. The Central Lowlands are traversed from east to west by a series of large, shallow valleys. The climate of the western part may be classified as marine west coast, and the eastern part as humid continental with cool summers. members.aol.com /ivorybro66/poland1.html

Connecticut state The Seaboard Lowland is a narrow strip of land between the Eastern and Western highlands and the coast. The lowland is formed of reddish sandstones and shales, which are less resistant than the crystalline rock found on either side and consequently have been worn down to form low-lying land. Sandy soils predominate in the Seaboard Lowland and in the Connecticut Valley Lowland south of Middletown. www.theusaonline.com /states/connecticut.htm

The eastern lowland gorilla lives in the lowland and montane forests of the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The eastern lowland gorilla has short black hair on the back and longer hair elsewhere on the body. www.ifaw.org /ifaw/general/default.aspx?oid=13142

Polesie - Iridis Encyclopedia Polesie (Polish spelling; Polissya, Полісся in Ukrainian, Poles'ye, Полесье in Russian, Palyessye or Palesse, Пале́сьсе in Belarusian) is one of the largest European swampy areas, located in the South-Western part of the Eastern-European Lowland, within the territories of Belarus, Ukraine and Poland. www.iridis.com /Polesie

Eastern Seaboard --  Encyclopædia Britannica Not merely a geographic term, the Eastern Seaboard is, historically, the part of the United States that was first settled by European immigrants and from which most westward American settlement originated. Sweeping from Newfoundland to Alabama, the Appalachian Highlands dominate the landscape of the Eastern seaboard. Eastern Orthodox Churches are usually identified by nationality and are the result of the Catholicism. www.britannica.com /eb/article?tocId=9031822

Eastern European Countryside In the Lowlands, there are local industries in the rural areas concerned with engineering (including repairs and maintenance), food processing and textiles. This paper discusses changes in Romanian agriculture, as the fundamental component in the rural transition, with particular reference to contrasts between the Carpathians and Lowland areas revealed through investigations carried out in recent years in the tradition of Romanian social survey. In contrast, to the counter urbanising trends in Western Europe, and 'de-agrarisation' noted in some parts of Eastern Europe - almost every permanent rural dweller in Romania is involved in agricultural sources. www.soc.uni.torun.pl /eec/eec21.htm

Chapter Two European urbanization feature cities known as Primate City-A countries leading city that is disproportionately large and expressive of national capacity and feeling, i.e., a microcosm of the country at large. In European urbanized areas, land is expensive due to its scarcity, capital for private enterprise development has been sufficient, government-built housing is common, and prices for real estate and rent are government controlled. Ukraine is largest European country; Albania is the poorest-none of countries meet EU criteria for membership. www.harpercollege.edu /mhealy/g101ilec/europe/chap2.htm

World Water Assessment Programme Case Studies Lake Peipsi Chudskoe-Pskovskoe (Estonia, Russian Federation) It is located on the border of the Republic of Estonia and the Russian Federation between Lake Peipsi Lowland (eastern border of Estonia) and the East-European Plain (Russia). in the sparsely populated eastern shore of the lake. A large research project MANTRA-East was supported by the European Union; and is being carried out by both Estonian and Russian organizations, plus five European research institutions. www.unesco.org /water/wwap/case_studies/peipsi_lake/index.shtml

Red Data Book for Poland Eastern Europe, which happily still possesses an impressive array of relatively undamaged lowland and montane habitats, would be an ideal region for such a compilation. We urgently need these regional data before the entry of Eastern European nations to the European Union results in profound social changes, especially in the countryside. Especially at risk are Mediterranean and Atlantic plants at their northern and eastern limits; also some coastal plants along the shores of the Baltic. www.plant-talk.org /stories/28rdbpol.html

ch8.htm Europe is currently at a point of both globalization, with the formation of a supranational political and economic entity, the European Union (EU), and (somewhat contradictorily) national identity, with the dissolution of several Eastern European countries, most notably Yugoslavia. Eastern Europe is now in a period of chaotic economic, political, and social transition Eastern Europe, with its communist economic system, had few environmental regulations, so its environment is not good; Soviet-designed nuclear power plants in this region may be prone to accidents mason.gmu.edu /~ssheers/spr05/ch8.htm

Poland - VisitEurope.com Although it is characterized primarily by lowland plains, its landscape includes mountain ranges, freshwater lake districts, primeval forests and more than 325 miles of seacoast. Warsaw, the capital, abounds in memorable attractions: the Old Town, the Barbican defense walls, the Royal Castle, the baroque glories of Wilanów and the Ghetto Memorial. The Republic of Poland is located at the center of Europe and covers an area comparable to that of New Mexico. www.visiteurope.com /poland.html

AQUASTAT - FAO's Information System on Water and Agriculture From west to east, three lowland plains can be distinguished: the Pajuris, middle lowland and eastern lowland. Agricultural situation and prospects in the Central and Eastern European countries. Most of the rivers flow across the middle lowland and the western part of the Zemaiciai upland. www.fao.org /ag/agl/aglw/aquastat/countries/lithuania/index.stm

Lithuania Lithuania is part of the East European Plain with three lowland plains (Pajuris Lowland, Middle Lowland, and Eastern Lowland) and three uplands (Zemaiciai or Baltic Upland, Aukstaiciai Upland, and Eastern Upland). The circumstances in each of the newly independent Central and Eastern European nations are so different that it would be overwhelming to attempt to gather data and analyze the situation for the entire group. With the dismantling of the Soviet Union in the late 1980's and early 1990's, several Eastern European nations, and 15 newly independent (former U.S.S.R.) republics, began moving from planned economic systems to capitalism and the free enterprise model [Hill, 1994]. www2.una.edu /gcrawford/mk-mg491/Lithuania.htm

REU Technical Series 50: Sheep and Goat Production in Central and Eastern European Countries p008 In the context of political changes in Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC), total number, production and farm structure in the small ruminant sector have been drastically affected by the process of reinstating the ownership of the land. In the lowlands, the lambing season starts in the middle of December and continues into the middle of March, while in the mountains February to March is the typical lambing season. In the lowlands the grazing period comprises 7-8 months, while in the mountains it is restricted to 5-6 months. www.fao.org /regional/europe/PUB/RTS50/008.htm

Nature Lithuania is located on the western edge of the Eastern European plain. It is a country of lowland plains broken by hilly uplands. Lithuania boasts one of Europe's densest lake districts located in the eastern regions; in all, the country contains over 3000 lakes. www.lfcc.lt /publ/roots/node9.html

EEM - Eastern European Mission The climate is humid subtropical in the Black Sea lowland of Mingrelia, alpine in the Greater and Lesser Caucasus, and dry in the Kura steppes in the east. The Georgian church, to which most of the ethnic Georgians belong, is an independent Eastern Orthodox congregation. Included in Georgia are the Abkhazia, the Adjarian Autonomous Republic, and South Ossetia (see Ossetia). www.eem.org /Georgia.HTML

General Remarks about Belarusian Nature The Nature in Belarus has many things in common with that in Eastern European countries located on a plain in a fairly cold climate. The southern part is a fairly marshy lowland. Among primeval forests (puscha) and sandy hills the mirrors of uncountable lakes shine. www.belarusguide.com /nature1/natintr.html

Position available The REC is a regional organisation based in Szentendre, Hungary, with the mission to assist in solving the environmental problems in Central and Eastern Europe by encouraging cooperation among non-governmental organisations, governments, businesses and other environmental stakeholders, by supporting the free exchange of information and by promoting public participation in environmental decision-making. Pilot work with this system has shown that age at first reproduction (alpha) occurs later in subalpine populations than in lowland ones, and that there is a surprising lack of variation in alpha between subalpine populations experiencing quite different age-specific patterns of recruitment. General Responsibilities: The REC Webmaster is responsible for managing REC projects related to the electronic communication and dissemination of environmental news and information in Central and Eastern Europe, including environmental news and information produced by the REC itself. ces.iisc.ernet.in /hpg/envis/doc98html/jbpos99217.html

EEM - Eastern European Mission Mainly a lowland, the republic has numerous lakes, frequently of glacial origin; Peipus (Lake Chudskoye), the largest, is important for both shipping and fishing. The Danes founded Reval (now Tallinn) in 1219 and introduced Christianity and Western European culture to Estonia. While Denmark took the northern part of Estonia, the knights occupied the southern portion. www.eem.org /Estonia.HTML

Lesson Four - Geography The Russian Plain is the eastward continuation of the North European Lowland, and here the Russian state formed its first core area. The Eastern Highlands are a jumbled mass of ranges and ridges, precipitous valleys, and volcanic mountains. The West Siberian Plain has been described as the world's largest unbroken lowland; this is the vast basin of the Ob and Irtysh Rivers. www.dis.dpi.state.nd.us /isc/classes/example/Russian/L4geo.html

KeepMedia Newsweek: The Russian Money Chase Edwards worked at the bank's Eastern European division, while Berlin set up three fund-transfer companies, called Benex, BECS and Lowland. Lucy Edwards and Peter Berlin are a husband-and-wife team, Russian emigres who, federal prosecutors say, were key players in a scheme that ultimately funneled more than $7 billion through the Bank of New York in a little over two years. Together, he and his wife made billions disappear--and admitted pocketing nearly $2 million for themselves in doing so. keepmedia.com /pubs/Newsweek/2000/02/28/317751?extID=10037&oliID=229

EASTERN-CENTRAL EUROPE: The Multicultural Arena The eastern economy has, however, rebounded, and the economic disparities between the two halves of the country are narrowing. Relics from one of the longest dictatorships in Eastern Europe rub shoulders with citrus orchards, olive groves and vineyards. Long before the post-World War II division of Europe and long before 'silent revolutions' in Eastern Europe ended that division, there was another time when Germans took to the streets to demand freedom and unity and for a few months seemed to achieve their goal. www.omnibusol.com /easteurope.html
