Pristova Т. А. Carbon Cycle Components in а Deciduous-Coniferous Forest Stand of the Middle Taiga // Forest Science (Lesovedenie). 2010. No. 6. P. 12-19 (in Russian).

The carbon cycle is considered in а secondary deciduous-coniferous stand of the middle taiga. The carbon concentration was determined in different plant species. The carbon pool in the stand studied was found to bе 76.7 t С ha-1 per year, its net production (NPP) is 2.9 С ha-1 per year. The carbon flows within the ecosystem were assessed. The falloff decomposition and the carbon emission were investigated. The carbon reserves in the upper l-m layer of the soil under the forest studied amounted to 84.85 ± 4.30 t С ha-1. The role of water-soluble organic and inorganic carbon is shown. The carbon contents entering the soil surface with water penetrating through crowns and litters were 42.4 and 97 kg С ha-1 per year, respectively. The forest stand investigated was revealed to bе carbon stock.
