Notes on nature

1. The natural distribution boundary of Siberian cedar runs north and East of Bashkiria. There are only cedar crops in our republic. Some of these crops have been planted for a long time and bear abundant fruit. The oldest cedar crop is located in the Beloretsky district, it has been declared a natural monument. There are also individual old-growth cedars in Bashkiria. One of these points is located in the village of Andreevka, Birsky district. Four cedars grow here on the Lyapustins' estate. They were planted by Ermiy Ignatievich Lyapustin in the year of his marriage. 116 years have passed since then. Cedars have turned into trees ranging in height from 14 to 16 m with trunk diameters from 38 to 54 cm. For many years, Lyapustin tended the cedars. He died at the age of 83 and bequeathed to his daughter to protect these cedars as a family heirloom. His daughter, K. E. Lyapustina, cared not only for cedars, but also for other trees. Oak and spruce trees grow here on the estate. An oak tree grown on cultivated soil has a trunk diameter at a chest height of 120 cm. Lyapustin planted the cedar not in seedlings, but in its entirety, as a cone. Cedar has been bearing fruit for a long time. He annually gives "boxes of cones" with full-fledged large pine nuts. These unique cedars have been declared a natural monument. They can serve as a seed base for cedar propagation.




2. The composition of the mineral springs, including the Oterlinsky and Salt Springs, are located 4 km from the city of Birsk on the right bank of the Belaya River. The Oterlinsky spring knocks out from under the main bank and, forming a small stream, flows into the Belaya River. From the sources to the sinkholes, which were formed 700 m from the slope, the river has fresh water, below it it becomes salty due to the fact that mineral springs of sinkholes with a total flow rate of 175 liters/sec provide water here. One of the springs is called the Salt Spring. The waters of Birsky mineral springs are of the type containing chloride, sulfate and sodium with a mineralization of 5.85 g/l. Bromine, iron oxide, free carbon dioxide, silicon oxide and hydrogen sulfide were found in the sources. The springs have typical whitish deposits of table salt, and in low places there are deposits of mud, representing a black plastic and greasy mass. Reserves amount to more than 1,700 m3. However, this mass is severely destroyed and washed away during high water, and in summer it accumulates again due to the mixing of salt water sources with sediments of the Belaya River. The healing properties of mineral springs and mud are indisputable and scientifically proven. The locals treated rheumatism and stomach diseases. The surroundings of the mineral springs are picturesque. The Belaya River flows nearby. The river banks are covered with deciduous forests, rich in forest and steppe berries.
