Forest Institute named after V.N.Sukachev SB RAS

The Forest Institute of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences became the country's first academic institution of forest profile. Several large scientific schools have developed here: taiga forestry and forest productivity, permafrost forestry, taxation and forest management, forest morphology, cartography, use of aerospace information, forest genetics and selection, pyrology , zoology, microbiology, physiology and biochemistry of woody plants, dendrochronology and dendroclimatology and The Herbarium of the Forest Institute has more than 20 thousand sheets ^[1] .

The Institute was created in Moscow in 1944 on the initiative of the Russian biologist, Hero of Socialist Labor, Academician Vladimir Nikolaevich Sukachev , whose name was given to the Institute in 1967 . In 1959, the institute was included in the Siberian branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences and relocated to the city of Krasnoyarsk , the beginning of fundamental research on Siberian cedar (Siberian cedar pine) . In 1989, part of the archive was destroyed by fire. Today, most of the materials are restored.
