Abstract: The results of long‐term stationary observations upon the thermal regime of soils in natural and anthropogenically‐disturbed tundra and northern taiga landscapes in the north of Western Siberia are discussed. Quantitative assessments of the heating effect of snow cover and the cooling effect of surface organic layer on soil temperatures in both winter and summer seasons are given. Spatial and temporal variations in the depth of seasonal thaw and soil temperatures in the tundra and taiga zones are outlined. Data on changes in soil temperature regimes following disturbance of surface organic layers are presented. Contemporary tendencies in permafrost degradation induced by climatic warming, changes in the snow cover depth, and anthropogenic impacts are shown. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
