The article presents research data on studies of the current state of the species composition of medicinal plants growing in the south of the Far East on the territory of the forest area of FSBEI HP «Primorskaya State Agricultural Academy» in mountain cedar-latitudinal forests. Biological harvest, production harvest is calculated, size of usage is established and period of restoration of medicinal plants is determined. The work shows how much raw materials can be harvested during one-time operation of thickets. Analysis was carried out, which made it possible to determine the main species composition of plants in hazelnut cedar with linden and oak and in different-shellfish cedar with yellow birch, to distinguish from them the types of medicinal plants characteristic of these types of forest. It was established that 18 types of medicinal plants are promising for volumetric harvesting of above-ground and underground organs. The yield of the remaining species is insignificant and is possible only with the observance of the rules for harvesting during the take-away measures to increase their phytomass.
