Abstract
Quantitative estimates were obtained for the biogoecenotic variation of the carbon pool in autonomous soils of the European territory of the former USSR, which indicated a high spatial variability of this parameter. The variation coefficient for carbon pool in the 0- to 1-m soil layer can reach 60% even in similar biogeocenoses within the same bioclimatic region. Parameters of intrabiogeocenotic variability of carbon pool in the soil were discussed. Their relationships with the type of biogeocenosis, vegetation, and soil moisture conditions were considered.
