Abstract

The paper presents the results of the investigations into the effects of the atmospheric pressure on the intensity of CO₂ emission during the cold time period from podzolic soils of Ukraine’s Central Polissya. It is shown that due to global warming, the winter period getting milder, against the background of less intensive soil freezing, the part played by the atmospheric pressure in intensifying the carbon dioxide emission from the soils, along with their temperature, is becoming quite significant. It has been established that the values of CO₂ emission from podzolic soils of Ukraine’s Polissya after the “the post – freezing” period (III) are significantly higher as compared to the corresponding values of “ the pre-freezing” period (I) of the cold period of 2015-2016.
