Abstract

The annual moisture and temperature dynamics of three model experimental areas in Central Mongolia pertaining to the zone of risky agriculture, is described in the article. The comparative analysis of basic characteristics of the hydrothermal regime (natural moisture, moisture content, negative and positive temperature sums, and soil temperature gradients) made it possible to differentiate in detail the annual soil hydrothermal regime by periods of expenditure, accumulation, and preservation of heat and moisture. Against the background of change in the direction of vertical temperature gradients, the critical cycles in dynamics were educed, which in general determine the efficiency of functioning of vegetation communities for this type of soil.
