Abstract

Detailed monitoring of soil temperature provides a unique experimental material for studying the complex processes of heat transfer from the surface layer of the atmosphere to the soil. According to air temperature monitoring data, within each of the key areas there are no significant differences between the data of the observation sites. According to annual (2011-2018) observations of soil temperature, it has been found that the microclimatic properties of bog ecosystems clearly manifest themselves in the characteristics of daily and annual variations of soil temperature. The thickness of the seasonally frozen layer at all sites is 20-60 cm, and maximum freezing of the peat layer is reached in February-March. There is evidence of degradation of the seasonally frozen layer that occurs both from above and from below. It has been found that similar bog ecosystems in different bog massifs may have significantly different temperature regimes. The peat stratum of northern bogs may be both warmer (in winter) and colder (in summer), in comparison with some bogs located 520 km to the south and 860 km to the west.
