Abstract
The paper results showed that in field studies in gas industry impacted tundra ecosystems the positive relationship between the level of atmospheric pollutants and the rate of emission as carbon dioxide and methane from zonal ecosystem has not been established. The values of fluxes of these greenhouse gases confirm the high spatial and temporal variability of the studied parameters for tundra ecosystems and are consistent with the literature data. Average (over study period) CO2 flow value was 158 mg CO2/m2/h. This value lies within the emission of carbon dioxide received for tundra ecosystems of Western Zemlya and Taimyr tundra. Flow of methane was characterized by a low rate of emission, averaging 0.063 mg CH4/m2/h, which indicates the absence of significant sources of methane in the studied soils. Therefore, in the given conditions was not marked remarkable changes in the biogeochemical cycle of carbon.
