«NEWS FOR THE SCIENTIFIC
DEPARTMENTS OF NATURE RESERVES»
SURVEY OF RESEARCH DEPARTMENTS AT NATURE RESERVES
UNDER THE RUSSIAN MINISTRY OF NATURAL RESOURCES IN 2000
In 2000, research departments existed at 82 of the 95 nature reserves (NR)
under the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources and employed a total of
526 people (including NR deputy directors of scientific research). The average
research department, including NR deputy directors of scientific research,
has 6 people on staff; this number has remained constant for the last five
years.
During 2000 the full-time research staff increased by 29 persons. The most
significant increases occurred at Vishersky (4 persons), Nenetsky,
Hakassky and Khingansky (3 persons each). Meanwhile, full-time staff
was reduced in Kavkazsky (3 persons) and in Laplandsky and
Mordovsky (2 persons each).
The nature reserves with the largest research departments (more than 9
persons, not counting auxiliary and operating personnel) are listed in Table
1.

The research department staff was smaller than average in 40 nature reserves
(49%). By the end of 2000, the research department staffs at 10 reserves
had shrunk to 3 persons (Bastak, Voroninsky, Denezhkin Kamen, Dzherginsky,
Kostomukshsky, Magadansky, Nenetsky, Olekminsky, Ubsunurkaya Kotlovina,
Khankaisky); at 10 other reserves to 2 persons (Azas, Bolshoy Arktichesky,
Verkhne-Tazovsky, Vitimsky, Dagestansky, Komandorksy, Komsomolsky, Kurilsky,
Poronaisky, Sohondinsky); and at 5 reserves to 1 person (Kaluzhskie
Zaseki, Norsky, Orenburgsky, Pasvik, Polistovsky, Rdeisky,
Rostovsky). In other words, the research department staff did
not exceed three persons at 27 nature reserves (35%).
In 1999 the staffs of the 82 nature reserves with research departments
included 152 Candidates of Science (PhDs) and 17 Doctors of Science (a level
higher than a PhD). Of these 82 reserves, 16 (20%) (Bolshaya Kokshaga,
Denezhkin Kamen, Kaluzhskie Zaseki, Komsomolsky, Kronotsky, Lazovsky,
Nenetsky, Orengurgsky, Island of Wrangel, Pinezhsky,
Polistovsky, Poronaisky, Rdeisky, Ubsunurskaya Kotlovina,
Hankaisky, Yugansky) had no staffers with advanced degrees. The following
nature reserves have the largest number of researchers with advance degrees
on staff: Astrakhansky — 11; Voronezhsky — 9; Taimyrsky
and Tsentralno-Lesnoi — 8 each; Darvinsky and Prioksko-Terrasny
— 7 each; Baikalsky, Kavkazsky and Teberdinsky — 6 each; Kandalakshsky
— 5. The heads of 40 research departments (49%) had no scientific degree.
The research departments of 12 nature reserves (15%) had Doctors of Science
on staff: Voronezhsky (4); Taimyrsky (3); Kavkazsky
and Teberdinsky (2 each); Kandalakshsky, Kerzhinsky, Oksky, Prioksko-Terrasny,
Putoransky, Tugussky, Tsentralno-Lesnoi and Shulgan-Tash (1 each).
In 2000, 104 researchers (20% of the total staff) from 50 nature reserves
(61%) were college graduates or graduate students. In that same year, researchers
at 16 nature reserves defended 19 Ph.D. theses: Volzhsko-Kamsky,
Ust-Lensky and Shulgan-Tash (2 each); Bastak, Vishersky,
Voroninsky, Darvinovsky, Dzherginsky, Zhigulevsky, Kavkazsky,
Komandorsky, Prisursky, Rostovsky, Severo-Osetinsky, Taimyrsky
and Khingansky (1 each), which is a record for the last five
years. Researchers from two nature reserves (Prioksko-Terrasny and
Taimyrsky) defended theses for Doctor of Science degrees.
Overall, 58% of the researchers on staff full-time either already had advanced
degrees or were studying towards them.
Most reserves published scientific materials (monographs, books, scientific
articles, reports) during 2000. Six reserves (7%) (Bolshaya Kokshaga,
Kaluzhskiye Zaseki, Mordovsky, Polistovsky, Poronaisky and Rdeisky)
published nothing; of these, Kaluzhskiye Zaseki and Mordovsky
have not had any publications in the last three years. Bolshoy
Arktichesky, Vitimsky, Dagestansky and Komsomolsky
have had only publication each (in a regional book of summary reports) in
the last three years.
Thirty three reserves (40%) issued monographs and books in 2000. The total
number of books published came to 64 (23 more than in 1999). Researchers
at 19 nature reserves (23%) published articles in foreign journals; at 37
reserves (45%) in leading Russian journals; at 20 reserves (24%) in foreign
and international books; at 50 reserves (61%) in Russian books (see Table
2). Researches at 69 nature reserves (84%) published scientific articles
and brief reports in regional books.

Note: * — reserves with similar results
in 1999;
**
— reserves with similar results for three years in a row.
Staff members from 84 reserves (88% of the total number of nature reserves
under the Ministry of Natural Resources) participated in scientific conferences
and meetings in 2000 (as opposed to 79 reserves in 1999). Four reserves
with research departments (Kaluzhskie Zaseki, Komandorsky, Mordovsky
and Tsentralnosibirsky) took no part in conferences or meetings.
In 1999, staff members of 79 reserves (97%) participated in scientific
conferences and meetings: 10 more reserves than in 1998. Only two reserves
with research departments (Kaluzhskie Zaseki and Tsentralnosibirsky
Reserves) did not participate in any scientific conference.
Thirty-seven researchers from 22 reserves (27%) participated in foreign
scientific conferences in 2000; 119 researchers from 45 reserves (55%) participated
in international scientific conferences; 178 researchers from 39 reserves
(48%) participated in Russian scientific conferences and meetings; and 321
researchers from 69 reserves (84%) participated in regional scientific conferences
and meetings (see Table 4).

In 2000, 79 reserves (83% of all 95 MNR reserves) had contracts with outside
research institutes. The same year, a total of 1,771 experts from outside
research institutes worked at 80 reserves (84%). See Table 5.

research, superior processing, presentation and typography distinguished
the Nature Chronicles of the following reserves: Taimyrsky, Voronezhsky,
Tsentralno-Chernozemny, and Darvinsky.

The Department of Environmental Protection and Ecological Safety considers
the following reserves to have achieved the most noticeable success overall
in activities connected with scientific research in 2000: Astrakhansky,
Bryansky Les, Voronezhsky, Darvinsky, Laplandsky, Oksky, Prisursky, Severo-Osetinsky,
