Abstract
An original database on soil descriptions performed in Russia was analyzed.
For different tundra landscapes, the average carbon resources were estimat
ed, and characteristics of their geographical distributions were studied. A
bsolute carbon values in the tundra zone and its regions were calculated. T
he results obtained were compared with relevant published data on Russian a
nd world tundra zones. The total amounts of carbon in the phytomass, phytod
etritus, and soil of Russian tundra areas were compared.
