The accumulation of low-molecular-weight humic acid fractions in the soil of boreal forests indicates the process of organic matter stabilization, which is correlated with the increase in aromaticity. The content of aromatic compounds and carboxyl structural fragments are important factors contributing to the resistance of the soil organic matter to biodegradation in Chernevaya taiga.
The boreal forests of Russia are one of the largest forest areas on the planet. As a result of climate change, the rate of carbon sequestration and stabilization of organic matter are important indicators of environmental conservation. To understand mechanisms of stabilization and the structure of soil organic carbon, the molecular-weight (MW) distribution of humic acids (HAs) in soils of the central deciduous-forest zone of boreal forests (Chernevaya taiga, transitional ecotone forest, coniferous forest) was studied. Analysis of the MW distribution of HAs was conducted using size-exclusion chromatography. This approach allowed us to obtain the distribution of high-, medium-, and low-molecular fractions of HAs. It has been revealed that the content of the low-MW fraction prevails over the content of the medium- and high-MW fractions of HAs, which indicates the process of stabilization in soil organic matter. The accumulation of low-molecular-weight fraction occurs with the aromaticity increase in HAs, which indicates that HAs with a relatively high proportion of aromatic fragments have smaller hydrodynamic radius and a lower MW. It has been statistically substantiated that the low-molecular-weight fraction correlates with the content of aromatic compounds and carboxyl structural fragments of HAs, which indicates the resistance of the soil organic matter of Chernevaya taiga to biodegradation.
