The effect of temperature fields on soil and plant cover formation in arid ecosystems of the Uvs Nuur basin

Research in the Uvs Nuur Basin reveals that temperature fields, analyzed through combined surface and satellite data, can effectively identify structural and functional boundaries of soil cover in arid ecosystems. The study quantifies temperature regimes in psammophytic soils, demonstrating their influence on hydrophysical properties and phytomass stocks in the sand massif Zuger-Els. By integrating field and remote monitoring, scientists established functional relationships between energy flux, matter circulation, and plant productivity, providing a methodological foundation for future ecological studies.
