V.K. Komarov Mountain-Taiga Station

The V.K. Komarov Mountain-Taiga Station is a research facility located within a vast coniferous forest region in Primorsky Krai. Scientists here collect ongoing data about forest plants and animals to understand how this ecosystem functions.

The station was founded in 1932 and has maintained continuous observations of the taiga ecosystem since then. This long history of monitoring has greatly contributed to our knowledge of Siberian forest systems.

The station reflects how scientists here study the connections between the forest and the people who depend on it. Daily research work shows the relationship between human communities and this taiga landscape.

Visitors should prepare for extreme climate swings, as temperatures range from warm summers to very cold winters in this region. Proper footwear and weatherproof clothing are essential for walking comfortably through the forest areas.

The station maintains active field studies of wild populations including Siberian musk deer, brown bears, and grey wolves in their natural surroundings. This hands-on work with living animals sets the research apart from purely laboratory-based science.
