Yu. N. Krasnoshchekov Transformation оf Gray-Humus Soils оf Pine Forests under the Influence оf Fires in Southwestern Lake Baikal Basin // Forest Science (Lesovedenie).2011. № 2. P.3-12.

Тhе experimental data оn the postpyrogenic dynamics of the soils under pine forests of southwestern Lake Baikal basin are analyzed. Surface fires of the litter-humus kind transform type-diagnostic surface organic horizons and lead to the formation of new pyrogenic organic horizons (Орyr). An adverse effect of surface fires of different intensity оn changes in the carbon reserves, qualitative and fractional composition of soil organic horizons and their chemical composition are shown.

Southwestern lake Baikal basin, taiga pine forests, surface fires, soil morphology, stock and fractional composition of litter-fall, pyrogenic organic horizons of soil, ash elements, physical and chemical soil properties..
