Abstract

The change in the chemical composition of the upper soil horizons (Albic Podzol) of lichen pine forests affected by a runaway ground fire in the middle taiga of the Komi Republic was studied. It was revealed that two days after the fire, the total carbon content in the pyrogenic horizon (Qpyr) increases by 1.3 times compared to the litter of the conditionally background area. During further post-pyrogenic succession, the total carbon content in the upper pyrogenic horizon decreases. Immediately after the fire, an increase in the content of benzenepolycarboxylic acids in the pyrogenic horizon was revealed by 14.5 times compared with the litter of the conditionally background area. The concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is 7 times higher than their content in the litter of the original forest. It has been shown that in the first 10 days after a fire, a “volley” removal of carbon—4 g/m2 and PAHs—11.5 μg/m2—occurs from under the pyrogenic horizon. Increased removal compared to the conventionally background area can be observed in the first three months. In the course of further evolution, the chemical composition of lysimetric waters approaches conditionally background values, and after two years the concentration of both carbon and PAHs is close to conditionally background values.
