Abstract

The dynamics of litter stock, microbial biomass, and composition and structure of microbial communities, were studied in the course of soil organic matter transformation during vegetation season. The dynamics of litter stock in coniferous and deciduous forests proved to correlate with the biomass and total abundance of microorganisms, particularly, with the proportion of microfungi in the microbial community.
