Intrasoil Permafrost Screen as a Factor of Formation of Surface Snowmelt Runoff
A. S. CHUMBAEV
Abstract
Peculiarities of hydrothermal regime of the Salair chernozems in the cold period of hydrological year are determined. These peculiarities consist in the fact that, irrespective of the type of spring weather, a permafrost screen is formed which hinders the migration of snowmelt water into the profile depth and provokes a surface runoff.
