In monitoring studies (1992-1997), an estimation of CO₂ emission from arable soils in fallows an winter wheat sowings has been carried out. Its dependence on hydrothermal conditions, and a correlation with humus content and the magnitude of gaseous carbon losses have been demonstrated. The causes of the increase of CO₂ emission from the soils under the conditions of technogenous pollution are discussed. It is found that the cointribution of direct local technogenous CO₂ discharges into the atmosphere is not considerable as compared to the indirect influence of pollution on the increase of CO₂ from soils in agroecosystems
