E.F. Vedrova, T.V. Reshetnikova Litter mass and intensity of litter decomposition in 40-year old plantations of the main forest forming species of Siberia // Forest Science (Lesovedenie). 2014. No 1. С.42-50.

The data on the storage, composition, intensity of litter decomposition and release of water-soluble organic matter in 40-year old plantations of Siberian pine, pine, spruce, larch, birch, and aspen is reported. The plantations were formed from 2-3-year old saplings in the same habitat on soils with physicochemical properties well-studied and documented. The differences in the parameters reported are provided in comparison with the estimates for the 25-year old plantations.

Litter, fraction composition, unit rate of decomposition, litter solutions, water-soluble organic matter. .
