Currently, the direction of studying primary production and carbon balance in both the forests of Russia and Eurasia is intensively developing. However, the assessment is carried out primarily on the basis of estimates of the tree layer, often without taking into account soils and ground cover. Although it is known that soil can contain up to 40% carbon, and the entire cycle of transformation of organic matter of plant litter occurs in soils or on their surface. Forest ecosystems in the southern taiga zone of Western Siberia are an important source of information necessary for understanding cyclically developing natural processes. To study the current state of forest ecosystems and organize monitoring of their condition, we selected the fir forests of the Tom-Yaya interfluve. The studies were carried out on permanent trial plot representing typical forest ecosystems of the southern taiga, selected as a result of reconnaissance surveys.
The research was carried out as part of the most important innovative project of national importance: “Development of a system for ground-based and remote monitoring of carbon pools and greenhouse gas fluxes in the territory of the Russian Federation, ensuring the creation of recording data systems on the fluxes of climate-active substances and the carbon budget in forests and other terrestrial ecological systems” (#123030300031-6).
