Abstract
The goals and objectives of creating scientific stations, including the Kursk Biosphere Station of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences, are formulated. A brief description of the objects of experimental studies of the water balance at this station in the 1980s is given. The main research results obtained in the winter-spring months of the year, of study and regulation of the spring surface slope runoff formation and soil erosion using non-traditional agricultural technologies, are presented. Some directions of further geological and hydrological studies at the Kursk Biosphere Station objects are considered. The possibilities of using modern monitoring tools, continuous measurement of the observed parameters using high-precision digital equipment and instruments, the use of remote sensing methods (including unmanned aerial vehicles), the development of precision farming technologies based on the soil spatial heterogeneity, and characteristics of agricultural fields in real time based on assimilation satellite information, are discussed. A complex of necessary organizational measures is considered, including the issues of organizing educational and industrial practice of students of higher educational institutions.
