The structure and productivity of planktonic microbial communities in the ecosystems of the Siberian Arctic seas are significantly dependent on freshwater input. During the study, we determined the spatial distribution of the abundance, biomass, and production of heterotrophic bacterioplankton in the Western Laptev Sea on the transect from the Khatanga River estuary to the continental slope and assessed the impact of river fre...

In this paper, we use the Rothamsted Carbon Model to estimate how cropland mineral soil carbon stocks are likely to change under future climate, and how agricultural management might influence these stocks in the future. The model was run for croplands occurring on mineral soils in European Russia and the Ukraine, representing 74 Mha of cropland in Russia and 31 Mha in the Ukraine. The model used climate data (1990–2070) from...
