The rate of decomposition varied from 15% to over 65% a year and was closely connected with a contents of nitrogen in soil, amount of which varied from 0.33% to 3.44%. The results presently obtained are much higher than those obtained by the same method in other polar regions.}, type={Article}, title={The rate of cellulose decomposition in soils of Spitsbergen tundra}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/111162/PDF-MASTER/1990-1-2_039-045.pdf}, keywords={Arctic, Spitsbergen, tundra, cellulose decomposition}, }
