Abstract
The thermodynamic functions of southern taiga forest litter samples were de termined by means of DSC. It was found that more thermostable compounds (at least in the interval 50-150 degreesC) with higher absolute values of the Gibbs function for intermolecular structures are formed in the course of fo rest litter decomposition. The data obtained indicate the spontaneous natur e of the processes relating to the transformation of organic matter in soil .
