| Summary: | Abstract It is outlined the concept of biotic regulation of carbon cycle in biosphere with the help of a study of local mechanis ms in the s mall bio logical cycle. The prognosis of changes of b iological cycle and b iotic regulation o f the carbon cycle according to the Had CM3 scenario of global warming are presented. Two mutually antithetical phenomena of carbon cycle biotic regulation will be developing on the Russian Plain. The extreme south of the forest zone will be the field of significant additional accumu lation of carbon in at mosphere. The main positive biotic regulation of carbon cycle, according to the Les Chatellier's principle, will be performed by broadleaf-coniferous forests of high plains in the nemoral-forest sub-zone and in the southern belt of sub-taiga zone. Local and reg ional maps of carbon balance are presented as well. |
