Аннотация:The stocks and structure of forest litters in a typical biogeocenosis in conjunction with the ecological
and botanical characteristics of the soil layer have been studied, based on the example of the Chashnikovo
Educational-Experimental Soil-Ecological Center, Moscow State University. The most informative characteristics
of the soil layer include species diversity, the relative share of oligotrophic boreal and nitrophilous
species, and the soil fertility index determined by the Ramensky ecological scale [20]. The total litter stock
varies from 1500 to 6000 g/m2 in coniferous forests and from 70 to 700 g/m2 in small-leaved forests. The highest
difference in stocks between the F and L horizons has been established for vegetation microcommunities
with the maximum species diversity and highest share of nitrophils. The increase in the portion of welldecomposed
fractions in the L piedmont from 5–7 to 27.6% leads to growth in the soil fertility index from 5–6
to 12–13.
