The effect of afforestation on the activity of microbiological mineralization of soil organic matter has been studied in Siberia. The results show that this effect concerns mainly net nitrogen mineralization and net nitrification, while carbon mineralization (CO 2 formation) does not depend on the type of ecosystem. It is proposed to use the rates of net nitrogen mineralization and nitrification as the most sensitive indicators of changes in an ecosystem.
