Abstract
A photoacoustic technique was used to analyze gas samples vacuum-extracted from larch discs which survived the explosion of a space body in the region of Podkamennaya Tunguska river in 1908. The specificity of СО2 accumulation in tree rings after the catastrophe was revealed, which could affect the dynamics of СО2 emission by tree stems into the atmosphere.
