Abstract

Features of the profile distribution of the biomass of soil microorganisms, total and specific metabolic activity of this biomass in frost soil of Central Yakutia are studied. Peculiarities of the changes of microbiological characteristics during the evolution of alas ecosystems and soils are analyzed. The effect of a complex of factors on the studies characteristics at different stages of long-term alas succession is evaluated.
