ON THE ISSUE OF ASSESSING THE DYNAMICS OF GAS EXCHANGE OF CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) UNDER LONG TERM VEHICLE LOADS

The article discusses the issues of assessing the gas exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2) flows in the soil-atmospheric air system. The results of gas exchange (soil respiration), during long periods (cycles), of vehicle load in local areas of an urbanized area are presented. The campus of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (RUDN) is presented as the object of study. The studies carried out in local areas revealed different seasonal and daily dynamics of soil CO2 emissions in the study area. The study of soil CO2 emission cycles was characterized by changes in the intensity of soil respiration during the period of increased traffic flows. An assessment of the connection between the vehicle load and the dynamics of CO2 emission flows proves the presence of transport as the main source of greenhouse gas generation.
