Abstract

This paper reports on the multielement composition of forest fuel materials and soils of the ecosystem of the boreal pine forests of the Central Siberia. The results are given for a change in the element composition of forest soils after the control burning of the experimental plots of the pine stand. The multielement composition of samples is determined using the X-ray fluorescen e method of synchrotron radiation (SRXRF). The element concentrations were found: K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Se, Br, Rb, Sr, Zr, Ba, Hg, Pb, Bi, Th. The results obtained can be used to estimate changes in the element composition of soil of forest biocenosis subjected to a forest fire.
