Soil microbial properties were studied from localities on a transect along the Yenisei River, Central Siberia. The 1000 km-long transect, from 56degreesN to 68degreesN, passed through tundra, taiga and pine forest characteristic of Northern Russia. Soil microbial properties were characterized by deh...
