Abstract

This article describes the problem of reserves accounting of organic carbon in Ukraine Polesie sod-podzolic soils within regions. The paper provided an indirect assessment of separate Polesie regions on their potential role in the context of involvement in the biosphere carbon balance. The article shows that the largest availability of organic matter contained in arable land humus of sod-podzolic soils, accumulated in Zhytomyr and Chernihiv regions and accordingly are 61,8 megatonnes, representing more than 50% of its total volume of Сorg in mentioned Ukraine Polesie soils
