Abstract
The features of the distribution of climate-forming factors in Siberia are considered. The study area is represented by three regions: the West Siberian plain, the Central Siberia and the mountain systems of Southern Siberia. Climate and environmental resources (air and soil temperature and snow cover) in each region are estimated. A detailed analysis of the temperature along the soil profiles (to a depth of 0.8 m) was made. Vertical soil profiles are grouped according to the degree of summer heating and winter cooling. Differentiation of the territory of Siberia is made on the basis of soil temperatures. The paper proposes a new approach to the assessment of integrated climate and environmental resources for a large area. The generalization of the revealed regularities for the Siberia region is presented.
