The V.L. Komarov Ussuriyskiy Nature Reserve is one of the oldest nature conservation institutions in the Far East of Russia. The year 2022 marks the 90th anniversary of its foundation. A section of the virgin Ussuri taiga was allocated for state protection in the southern part of Primorye Territory on the initiative and with an active support of V.L. Komarov. V.L. Komarov instilled interest in studying the unique flora of the reserve in his students (E.N. Klobukova-Alisova, Z.I. Luchnik, etc.) and followers (D.P. Vorobyev, G.E. Kurentsova, A.M. Skibinskaya, etc.). In recent years, floristic studies on the territory of the Ussuriyskiy Reserve were reflected in major generalizing works by S.S. Kharkevich, T.A. Bezdeleva, L.A. Fedina. Currently, the V.L. Komarov Ussuriyskiy Nature Reserve is a refuge of valuable plant communities and rich diverse Manchurian flora.
