An estimation of resources of biomass of invertebrates in ochra subbrown soils, sandy podzols and gray soils of the taiga zone of the Krasnoyarsk Region is made. It is demonstrated that the contribution of the soil zoomass to the processes of carbon and nitrogen accumulation in the series of podzols < subbrown soils < gray soils reflects the increase of the role of invertebrates in deposition of the most important biogenic elements that goes in parallel with improvement of local climatic conditions.
