Active Layer Dynamics in Tundra and Forest Tundra of Lower Ob Region (Dinamika Sezonnotaloga Sloya v Tundre i Lesotundre Nezhnego Priobya),
Abstract
The report is devoted to the study of the seasonal thawing os soil and its relationship with the temperature, soil moistness, and meteorological conditions. The territory under study comprises a plains sector in the interfluve of the Ob' River and its tributary, the Poly'ye, formed of sands and sandy-loamy fluvioglacial deposits. The texture of the latter is uniform. All of the natural territorial complexes in the interfluve are supported by frozen layers with a depth of 200-300 m. The observations were conducted in five different natural complexes geochemically interconnected and differing in altitude and moisture conditions. (Author)
