Carbon Loss from Arable Soils of West Siberia as a Result of Soil-Destroying Processes
A. A. TANASIENKO, A. F. PUTILIN
Abstract
More than 6 million hectares of arable lands (mainly chernozems) in West Siberia suffer from erosion and deflation. In soils affected by soil-destroying processes 4.5-6.5 t/ha fine earth is alienated annually. The differences in the type of soil-destroying processes,humus content and granulometric composition of chernozems influence the magnitude of carbon loss (150-450 kg/ha annually).
