The results of a laboratory experiment modeling the effect of kerosene contamination on the cellulolytic activity of microbiocenosis of the Albic Retisol (Kaluga oblast, Russia) and Arenosol (Kyzylorda oblast, Republic of Kazakhstan) humus horizons are described. Cellulolytic activity is assessed according to the rate of weight loss in linen cloth ...

AbstractHydrophilic-hydrophobic properties of organic matter and the content and distribution of water-soluble organic matter (WSOM) in soils of the Subpolar Urals are discussed. It is shown that the type of predominant vegetation in the system of altitudinal zones controls the amount and nature of soil organic matter (SOM). The litter of moss–lich...

AbstractVegetation restoration projects have been implemented in China’s degraded karst ecosystems (rocky desertification areas) for more than 20 years. There is an urgent need to evaluate the impact of different vegetation restoration modes on the ecological environment. The status of the soil environment under different vegetation restoration mod...

Abstract—The results of the field radiometric survey of the mined monazite Vasil’evka placer in southern Yakutia are presented. It is shown that the natural background radioactivity of soils of the surveyed area mainly depends on the features of its geological structure and, to some extent, on landscape-geocryological conditions. The rate of equiva...

Abstract—The cost of park-recreational, residential, and residential-transport urban landscapes of Moscow has been estimated taking into account land use and the relationships between ecosystem services and ecological functions and properties of individual landscape components. On the basis of the methodology previously proposed by the authors, a w...

AbstractFrom 9 March 2016 to 12 November 2018 we conducted an intensive experimental field campaign, the WormEx I Experiment, to quantitatively assess the seasonality of the earthworm macropores and their effect on the soil hydrological properties in a temperate mountain range. Six 1-m2 plots were selected in two shallow soils in Valle Camonica (Ce...

AbstractSoils of the steppe zone have been studied in natural grassland ecosystems of the Volga–Don interfluve and the Northern Caspian region. The objects of research are represented by chestnut soils and solonetzes (Calcic Cambic Kastanozems and Salic Gypsic Solonetz) in the areas of archaeological sites (burial mounds). The repeated surveys of t...

AbstractA prolonged impact of the wood biochar applied at a dose of 1.5 kg/m2 on the dynamics of changes and trends in main agrochemical characteristics and enzyme activity in soils of different textures in the middle taiga zone of Karelia has been studied. The plots for 2-year-long monitoring (area, 5 m2) are randomly located (in four replicates) ...

AbstractThe possibilities of regulating soil microbial communities via various agricultural practices and the application of microbial preparations are considered. The total biomass, diversity and activity of microorganisms, as well as the intensity of certain processes, such as nitrogen transformation, can be regulated by agricultural practices. T...

AbstractA detailed study of Albic Stagnosols and Eutric Gleysols that are widely used in agriculture of the Far East and are characterized by the active formation of iron–manganese nodules has shown differences in their physicochemical and optical properties and biological activity parameters. The level of catalase activity in the studied soils is ...
