In this paper applied researches of soil and vegetation cover of the territory of the Mountain-Taiga Station named by V.L. Komarov (now – Branch of the «Federal Scientific Center for Biodiversity» FEB RAS), conducted and published in the first years of its operation, as well as its modern survey of this area. According to published data (Vorobjov, 1938; Zhukova, 1946) on the territory of the Mountain-Taiga Station was allocated three plots with different degree of anthropogenic disturbance of soil and vegetation cover. Vegetation consisted of areas from selective cutting to developed into cultivated plants – arable areas and gardens. In the developed areas were marked by soil erosion up to gullying. At the stage of the first surveys did the idea of the monitoring of soil and vegetation changes of this territory, as typical for the Southern Part of the Far East (Zhukova, 1946). In subsequent years, the study of vegetation of the Mountain-Taiga Station, close attention was given to many famous scientists. The study of soil cover of this territory was locally, without a comprehensive study of the soil recovery processes. The data of cultivated areas, obtained in the years 1963-1968, was not published. In 2017 had conducted reconnaissance soil and geobotanical survey of the Mountain-Taiga Station territory, according to the scheme of the forest-fallow-arable lands. It was conducted at the same plots that were surveyed in the early years of station operation. Comparative analysis of the results of past and present surveys of soil and vegetation showed the presence of active regenerative processes in the landscape. The establishment of the protection regime of nature management on the study area contributed to the demise of the erosion and vegetation recovery.
