Stationary Research in the Central Forest State Natural Biosphere Reserve

Abstract

The article presents a brief history of the formation and development of long-term stationary research in the Central Forest State Natural Biosphere Reserve, starting from the first soil-geomorphological works in the 1930s and up to the creation in 2017 of the IPEE RAS ecological observatory "Okovsky Les". The main results of stationary research in two directions are shown: climatic (implemented at ecological and climatic stations of turbulent pulsations) and landscape-ecological (implemented on the basis of field measurements and processing of remote information). The long-term stationary observations on the territory of the reserve provide extensive material for the study of natural processes and can serve as a basis for creating a national network of environmental monitoring.
