Year: 2024

The article summarizes the results of long-term studies of microbial biomass in buried soils of archaeological sites and recent reference soils. Geographically, the objects of study are located in the southeast of the East-European Plain, the Caspian Lowland, the Western Caucasus, and the Crimea. A very representative data have been accumulated on the chronogeographic patterns of changes in microbial biomass in chernozems (Chernozem), chestnut soils (Haplic Kastanozems), light chestnut soils (Sa
