Soil temperature measurements from a climate monitoring network in Puerto Rico were evaluated and the difference between mean summer and mean winter soil temperature, known as isotivity value, was calculated. Air and soil temperature was collected from five weather stations of the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service from sea level to 1,019 m above sea level and from different soil moisture regimes. Isotivity values ranged from 1.2 to 3.9° C with an average of 2.6° C. The 750-m elevation was identified as the limit between the isohyperthermic and isothermic soil temperature regimes in the perudic soil moisture regime in Puerto Rico. The greatest differences between mean annual soil temperature and mean annual air temperature were observed at Guánica, Combate and Guilarte (2.1 ° C) stations. The smallest differences were observed at Maricao (0.8° C) and Isabela (1.8° C) stations. The study also indicated that the mean annual soil temperature in Puerto Rico can be estimated by adding 1.8° C to the mean annual air temperature or by the equation y = -0.007x + 28.0° C. The equation indicates that 97 percent of the time the behavior of the mean annual soil temperature is a function of elevation. According to the updated soil temperature regime boundaries, eight soil series were established in the Soil Survey of San Germán Area. In an area under the isothermic soil temperature regime, four soil series were classified as Oxisols (Haploperox), two soil series as Inceptisols (Eutrudepts) and two soil series as Mollisols (Argiudolls). This is the first field recognition of the Haploperox soil great group in the United States and its territories.

Abstract The soil temperature regime is a relevant part of comprehensive topoclimatic research. Soil temperature data series measured at selected stations of the metropolitan station system of Olomouc in 2010-2011 were analysed. The focus was on the identification of geofactors influencing the soil temperature regime in the area of interest. The possibility of soil temperature simulation using knowledge of local specifics of the soil temperature regime was verified. The results indicate that the variability of the soil temperature regime was, apart from physical and chemical properties of soil, determined predominately by the character of the relief and the occurrence of related atmospheric inversions. The impact of the urban landscape on the soil temperature regime was not demonstrated. Average daily soil temperature was simulated with satisfying results, based on a model adjusted for a period without snow cover. The results represent a basis for further research on geofactors influencing the soil temperature regime in Olomouc and its surroundings.

Abstract In order to identify the features of the dynamics of the soil temperature regime during the post-fire restoration of the subtaiga light-coniferous geosystems of the Tunkinskaya depression, a study of the demutation processes in the pine forests of the Badar urochishche was conducted. Our research is based on the data of observations initiated after the fire that took place in 2010. The model key areas were selected at intact landscape complexes that did not experience pyrogenic influence, as well as the territory subjected to forest fires. Comparing the dominant composition of secondary succession biocenoses with natural plant communities in the background key area, indicators of the prospects for successful reforestation were identified. The analysis of 10-year data on the observation of the soil temperature regime from the surface to a depth of 3.2 m was carried out at the selected sites. The differences between the soil temperatures in the disturbed and natural sites, which vary during a year were revealed. During the observation period, a decrease in microclimatic differences was observed with the regeneration of vegetation cover, which indicates the restoration of the temperature regime in the pyrogenic-disturbed area.
