PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SOILS IN THE OIL FIELDS OF THE MIDDLE TAIGA SUBZONE, WESTERN SIBERIA, AS INDICATORS OF THEIR ECOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS
This study investigates the physicochemical properties and ecological functions of natural middle taiga soils in Western Siberia, including sod-podzolic, podzolic, and alluvial types. Key parameters analyzed were: organic carbon content, acidity, base saturation, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and exchangeable cation composition. The research identified distinct patterns in the vertical distribution of exchangeable aluminum, magnesium, and hydrogen within the soil profiles. The results demonstrate that these soils perform crucial ecological roles, such as organic matter accumulation and the regulation of acid-base conditions in natural ecosystems.
