Abstract

The article deals with the results of the study of soil microbiomass and the community of soil inhabiting oribatid mites in the zonal permafrost pale yellow typical soil. It is concluded that the zonal taiga soils of Central Yakutia are characterized by lower values of microbial biomass and higher values of specific metabolic activity of this biomass than the soil of the taiga zone of the European part of Russia. The population of soil inhabiting oribatid mites in these soils is characterized by a large faunal originality, which is significantly different from similar landscapes of neighboring regions. The conducted research allows drawing a conclusion that soil biological methods, and methods of the analysis of a condition and features of functioning of soil microbiomass, number and species diversity of community of soil inhabiting oribatid mites, can be successfully used for ecological monitoring of taiga ecosystems of the Central Yakutia. It is necessary to conduct additional studies to obtain quantitative characteristics of the features of changes in the studied parameters in the taiga ecosystems that experienced different in strength and nature of anthropogenic impacts.
