We calculated the \u03c3 in the radiation balance for a well-drained spruce forest, a paludified spruce forest, and a bog in the southern taiga of the European part of Russia using long-term meteorological data. Though radiative \u03c3 depends both on surface temperature and absorbed radiation, the radiation effect in boreal ecosystems is much more important than the temperature effect. The dynamic of the incoming solar radiation was the main driver of the diurnal, seasonal, and intra-annual courses of \u03c3 for all ecosystems; the difference in ecosystem albedo was the second most important factor, responsible for seven-eighths of the difference in \u03c3 between the bog and forest in a warm period. Despite the higher productivity and the complex structure of the well-drained forest, the dynamics and sums of \u03c3 in two forests were very similar. Summer droughts had no influence on the albedo and \u03c3 efficiency of forests, demonstrating high self-regulation of the taiga forest ecosystems. On the contrary, a decreasing water supply significantly elevated the albedo and lowered the \u03c3 in bog. Bogs, being non-steady ecosystems, demonstrate unique thermodynamic behavior, which is fluctuant and strongly dependent on the moisture supply. Paludification of territories may result in increasing instability of the energy balance and entropy production in the landscape of the southern taiga.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e19010043","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,23]],"date-time":"2017-01-23T10:40:33Z","timestamp":1485168033000},"page":"43","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Radiative Entropy Production along the Paludification Gradient in the Southern Taiga"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Olga","family":"Kuricheva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"A.N.
