Changes in Soil Surface Temperature in the Context of Climate Change Problems
Budnik Svetlana Vasilievna
ABSTRACT
Based on the observation materials of the hydrometeorological service, studies have been conducted on the change in soil surface temperature characteristics over time. The studies show an increase in both the average soil surface temperature and extreme soil surface temperatures (absolute maximums and minimums) over time, and the sum of temperatures over the year also increases. As a result, an increase in the activity of macro- and microorganisms in the soil layer, an increase in the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, etc. are expected. At present, the accumulation of cold in the subsoil layer in winter acts as a restraining buffer for the growth of extreme soil temperatures. In order to adapt natural and anthropogenic systems to ongoing climate changes, it is necessary to fill them with vegetation cover as much as possible, which is capable of reducing the heating of the soil and other surfaces, and create a favorable microclimate.
