Laboratory of Geoinformatics of Ecosystems

Goal: To determine carbon reserves in typical swamp microlandscapes of the middle taiga of Western Siberia to assess the rate of carbon deposition in these ecosystems by the difference between reserves estimated over a period of 5-7 years. Tasks: Measurement of carbon stocks in typical swamp microlandscapes of the middle taiga of Western Siberia, separated by components; Conducting a highly detailed survey of the research site from a UAV to assess the areas occupied by typical swamp micro-landscapes; Assessment of the removal of dissolved organic carbon from swamp ecosystems with surface runoff based on monitoring the concentration of dissolved organic carbon in water flowing from the swamp; Monitoring of carbon dioxide exchange of spruce-aspen forest in the middle taiga of Western Siberia with the atmosphere by the method of turbulent pulsations, as well as related hydrometeorological parameters of the environment (air temperature and humidity, photosynthetically active radiation, wind speed and direction, precipitation. Development of methodological approaches to the assessment of carbon pools and fluxes in Russian swamp ecosystems within the framework of the functioning of the working subgroup on swamp ecosystems within the framework of the VIP GZ; Organization of a type 2 intensive monitoring research site in the white-mossed pine forest and the Verkhovoye swamp at the Kondinsky Lakes landfill, conducting preliminary studies of these biogeocenoses.
