Structure and functioning of soil zoocenoses of taiga geosystems of the Lena-Angara plateau

A unified methodological approach was used to study the soil zoocenoses of uneven-age industrial areas of the Kovykta gas and condensate field. Regeneration of the soil-biotic block is characterized by sequential changes in quantitative characteristics, and in the taxonomic and functional structure of invertebrate communities. The study revealed distinguishing characteristics of the progressive successions of drastically disturbed mountain-taiga geosystems, and the factors that are responsible for the direction and duration of the individual successions.
