Abstract
The paper presents data on the study of such indicators of soil fertility as the content of organic matter and mobile forms of phosphorus at different stages of revegetation of former arable soils in the Leningrad region (Russia). After the removal of agricultural load, post-agricultural plant communities, which play a role in the soil formation process, were formed on these lands. The investigated sites are located on two-membered soils within the Gatchina district. The agrochemical condition of the soil complex under a series of sites at early successional stages at 5, 10, 20 and 25 years after stopping use for arable land, as well as on old fallow soils of 85 years with different composition of tree species participation was analysed. Plots with different dominant species of tree and shrub vegetation were also identified on sites fallow for 25 years. Statistical analysis of the obtained data showed that with increasing period of soil fallow the average indicators of soil organic matter slowly increase and level out by 2025 years, but by 85 years they slightly decrease. The dynamics of mobile phosphorus forms is significantly affected by heterogeneously regenerating woody-shrub vegetation closer to 2025 years. At the abandonment period of 25 years, the influence of the main tree and shrub species on soil fertility indicators is not traceable. Influence of coniferous stand composition as an environment-forming factor on soils depends on the share of spruce and pine. At the last considered stages of succession of former old fallow soils organic carbon accumulation is mainly due to living ground cover characteristic for forest, as well as coniferous and woody debris.
