Effect of Thermal Conductivity of the Soil Cover on the Air Temperature Dynamics under Natural Conditions and at Anthropogenic Loads

Abstract

By the example of the southern Russian Far East territory, it was stated that a sign of the linear trend of the long-term air temperature variations in the warm and cold periods of the year depended essentially on the soil thermal conductivity. It was shown that the mechanism of the soil temperature fields’ formation was controlled by the Fourier heat condition equation. In this case, the modern anthropogenic loads on the soil cover can only slightly enhance or weaken the natural mechanism of forming the temperature fields of soil and air.
