LONG-TERM MONITORING OF SNOW COVER WITHIN NATURAL AND URBANIZED LANDSCAPES OF THE MOSCOW REGION
Abstract
Dynamics and composition of snow cover in the system of a geochemical landscape typical of southern taiga landscapes and the urbanized landscapes were studied during winter seasons of 2011 –
2016. It is shown that the maximum heights and water equivalent of snow cover in natural landscapes are usually found on flood plains and forest openings on the first terrace whereas minimum values are
typical of forest ecosystems. The cluster analysis revealed that the chemical composition of snow in the MSU Arboretum and within landscapes in the vicinity of Moscow is closer unlike that of true urban
landscapes.
