Abstract: Assessment of the direction of carbon transformation in the “soil – plant – atmosphere” biocycle is a complex methodological task due to the high dynamics of processes in the agroecosystem. For this reason the creation of appropriate tools meets the goals of managing the processes of CO2 absorption by components of agroecosystems and creation of appropriate technologies for agroclimatic projects. The system considered in the work, based on a model experiment that lasted more than 20 days, made it possible to calculate the balance of CO2 equivalent formed in the simulated agroecosystem with an accuracy of more than 95 %. This makes it possible to use this system to determine the level of biological activity of the soil, the degree of autotrophy of plant nutrition and determine the volume of CO2 extracted by soil and plants from the atmosphere.

Keywords: greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, CO2 balance, soil, plant, atmosphere
