Abstract

In three laboratory experiments with gray forest soils, the rates of mineralization of the bacterial mass, green oat mass, and cellulose applied in increasing doses were determined based on the measurement of the C-CO2 emission. The substances applied were used as biological indicators of the mineralizable organic matter pool in the gray forest soils.
