Influence of climatypes of Scots pine on certain chemical and microbiological characteristics of soils

By using multivariate statistical analysis, the influence of Scots pine climatypes on a set of chemical and microbiological properties of soil, i.e., soil C/N, Cmic/Corg, and Cmic/Nmic, was revealed in a series of long-term (ca. 30 years) field experiments, which were carried out according to the same scheme under contrasting environmental and soil conditions of Siberian forestries.
