Editing Arsenyev (section)

===Nature===
Large [[clay]] deposits that are used by the local plant of construction materials are found in the town's vicinity. There are [[granite]] and [[basalt]] beds within {{convert|10|–|12|km|sp=us}} distance from the town. The suburban [[flora]] includes [[Taxus cuspidata|Japanese Yew]] (''Taxus cuspidata''), [[Amur Velvet]], [[Walnut|Manchurian Walnut]] (''Juglans mandschurica''), [[Birch|Ermann's Birch]] (''Betula ermannii''), ''[[Araliaceae|Eleutherococcus]]'', [[Nelumbo nucifera|Lotus]] (''Nelumbo nucifera'', a rare and very beautiful water-plant that can be found in several small lakes twelve kilometers from Arsenyev). There is a variety of [[fauna]] species in the area, including [[mammal]]s, birds, and insects characteristic of Primorye. The [[tiger]] (''Panthera tigris''), [[Felis|wildcat]] (''Felis'' spp.), [[mandarin duck]] (''Aix galericulata''), several species of unique butterflies including ''Catocala'' and species of Noctuid moth can be found.

There is much snow during winter in Arsenyev, and this creates perfect conditions for skiing around the town. Arsenyev is surrounded by an almost untouched Ussuri [[taiga]].  The ecological situation in Arsenyev is more favorable in comparison with other cities and towns of the krai, due to the absence of polluting enterprises in the town and its suburbs.
