The effect of Siberian tree species on the mineralization rate of soil organic matter

The mineralization of organic matter in the soils under the six main Siberian forest-forming species was studied. The nitrogen mineralization and nitrification were the most affected by the different tree species. The rate of the CO 2 formation was similar in the soils under the different tree speci...

More Information
Summary:The mineralization of organic matter in the soils under the six main Siberian forest-forming species was studied. The nitrogen mineralization and nitrification were the most affected by the different tree species. The rate of the CO 2 formation was similar in the soils under the different tree species. The factors affecting the variation of the data characterizing the microbiological processes were revealed. The nitrogen mineralization and nitrification correlated with the contents of the soil carbon, nitrogen, and NH 4 + and the soil acidity, while the carbon mineralization correlated only with the NH 4 + concentration and the C/N ratio.
