On November 25, 2025, celebrations were held to mark the 55th anniversary of the Yenisei Mirnoye Station of the A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IEE RAS).
The station is located on the banks of the Yenisei River in its middle reaches and is surrounded by middle-taiga dark coniferous forests of Siberian cedar, spruce, pine, and larch. The Yenisei Valley features a complex system of dark coniferous taiga, shrub (willow) communities, and several types of meadows. The station is located within the biosphere reserve of the Central Siberian Biosphere Reserve.
The station's organizers set the goal of studying the zonal natural features of Central Siberia along the Yenisei meridional transect. Therefore, while the station's primary objective was to study taiga ecosystems, it served as a base for broader research and generalizations concerning not only taiga territories but also tundra and arctic landscapes, including Taimyr to the north, as well as the southern Yenisei Siberia region, all the way to the steppes and semi-deserts of Khakassia and Tyva.
As part of the ceremonial events, a scientific council meeting was held, attended by IEE RAS staff and station guests. The presentations discussed the station's past and current research in various areas, as well as its future development prospects.
