Microbial production and CO2 emission in Albic Retisol (Loamic) and Albic Retisol (Aric, Loamic) of Lomonosov Moscow State University carbon polygon «Chashnikovo»≫ in the Moscow region were studied during the peak of vegetation activity. The object represents monitoring sites in two natural ecosystems (secondary spruce forest and mixed-grass meadow) and in two agroecosystems (perennial grasses and bare fallow). The soils differed in their stocks
of organic matter carbon (Corg), microbial carbon (Cmic), and potentially mineralizable carbon (Cpm). The highest values of microbial indicators and carbon content were observed in the upper 30 cm with a maximum in the upper 10 cm. Corg stocks in the 0–30 cm layer were 1.1–1.3 times higher in agricultural soils (72.7–75.6 t ha-1) compared to natural ones (59.4–65.0 tha-1). The contribution of Cmic stocks to Corg stocks in meadow soils and agricultural soils under perennial grasses (1.8 and 1.4%) was higher than in forest soils and soils under bare fallow. Сpm stocks in natural soils (1.34 and 0.97 tha-1 for a layer of 0–10 cm) were 1.3–2.3 times greater than in agricultural soils, but the intensity of mineralization of organic matter in agricultural soils was 1.4–2.9 times lower than in soils of natural ecosystems. For ecosystems with similar vegetation, the influence of Сpm stocks on the amount of microbial CO2 production was shown; its proportional increase was noted. Maximum potential microbial CO2 production (4.8 gCm-2day-1 for the 0–10 cm layer and 10.5 gCm-2day-1 for the 0–30 cm layer), Cmic stocks (0.50 tha-1), as well as CO2 emission (11.09±0.29 gCm-2day-1) were characteristic of the soils of a dry meadow. In other ecosystems, CO2 production by microorganisms was lower by approximately 2 times. Since CO2 emission, in addition to microbial respiration, is also caused by the respiration of plant roots, its minimum values were observed in agricultural soils under bare fallow (5.01±1.43 gCm-2・day-1). CO2 emission from forest soils and agricultural soils under perennial grasses was statistically not significantly lower compared to the meadow.Keywords: greenhouse gases; basal respiration; microbial biomass; potentially mineralizable organic matter; carbon stocks in soils
