Kotelnichsky District (Russian : Коте́льничский райо́н) is an administrative^[1] and municipal^[3] district (raion), one of the thirty-nine in Kirov Oblast, Russia. It is located in the west of the oblast. The area of the district is 3,940 square kilometers (1,520 sq mi).^[4] Its administrative center is the town of Kotelnich (which is not administratively a part of the district).^[1] Population: 15,799; (2010 Census)^[5] 20,507 (2002 Census);^[8]27,712 (1989 Census).^[9]

Russian is an East Slavic language, which is official in the Russian Federation, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, as well as being widely used throughout Eastern Europe, the Baltic states, the Caucasus and Central Asia. It was the de facto language of the Soviet Union until its dissolution on 25 December 1991. Although nearly three decades have passed since the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russian is used in official capacity or in public life in all the post-Soviet nation-states, as well as in Israel and Mongolia.

A raion is a type of administrative unit of several post-Soviet states. The term is from the French "rayon", which is both a type of a subnational entity and a division of a city, and is commonly translated in English as "district".

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Kotelnichsky District is one of the thirty-nine in the oblast.^[1] The town of Kotelnich serves as its administrative center, despite being incorporated separately as an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.^[1]

Kotelnich is a river port town in Kirov Oblast, Russia, located on the right bank of the Vyatka River near its confluence with the Moloma, along the route of the Trans-Siberian Railway, 124 kilometers (77 mi) southwest of Kirov. Population: 24,979 (2010 Census); 28,245 (2002 Census); 36,841 (1989 Census).

City of federal subject significance is an umbrella term used to refer to a type of an administrative division of a federal subject of Russia which is equal in status to a district but is organized around a large city; occasionally with surrounding rural territories.

As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Kotelnichsky Municipal District.^[3] The Town of Kotelnich is incorporated separately from the district as Kotelnich Urban Okrug.^[3]

Economy and transportation

The Otvorskoye and Gorokhovskoye peat narrow gauge railways for hauling peat operate in the district.

Peat, also known as turf, is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation or organic matter. It is unique to natural areas called peatlands, bogs, mires, moors, or muskegs. The peatland ecosystem is the most efficient carbon sink on the planet, because peatland plants capture CO₂ naturally released from the peat, maintaining an equilibrium. In natural peatlands, the "annual rate of biomass production is greater than the rate of decomposition", but it takes "thousands of years for peatlands to develop the deposits of 1.5 to 2.3 m [4.9 to 7.5 ft], which is the average depth of the boreal [northern] peatlands". Sphagnum moss, also called peat moss, is one of the most common components in peat, although many other plants can contribute. The biological features of Sphagnum mosses act to create a habitat aiding peat formation, a phenomenon termed 'habitat manipulation'. Soils consisting primarily of peat are known as histosols. Peat forms in wetland conditions, where flooding or stagnant water obstructs the flow of oxygen from the atmosphere, slowing the rate of decomposition.
