Federal State Establishment United Administration of Barguzinsky State Nature Biosphere Reserve and Zabaikalsky National Park "Zapovednoe Podlemorye"

Description

The oldest in Russia Barguzinsky state natural biosphere reserve was organized in 1916. It is locating in the northeastern Baikal region, on the territory belonging to the background region of Lake Baikal. It is a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site since December 1996. It is interesting as a territory - a standard of wild nature in the Baikal region, never subjected to human exposure. For a 100-year period in the Barguzin Reserve, databases containing information on long-term dynamics (minimum for 10 years, maximum for 80 years) of controlled parameters of natural complexes have been prepared. Data bases have been prepared in the following sec-tions of long-term observations : weather, water, soil, phenology of plants and birds, nature calendar, yield of berry and tree species, state of populations of rare plant species, winter route registration of animals, spring-autumnal relative the registration of bears, the structure of bear populations, the wolf and ungulate populations, the monitoring of the Barguzin sable population, the summer and winter comprehensive routing surveys of terrestrial birds, the autumn counts of chicken birds, the counting of colonial water birds, the occurrence of birds of prey and owls, ground beetle counts, forest fires. The materials obtained are the basis for assessing the natural variability of the controlled parameters of the state of components of natural com-plexes and about GIS analysis of long-term observations in order to optimize the monitoring program in the Barguzin biosphere reserve. In addition, this information is used in the development of GIS for protected areas and for assessing biota responses to long-term climate change.
