Summary: | We evaluated symbiotic system of forest and permafrost using land-surface hydro-meteorological datasets obtained at northern Mongolia, southern boundary of Eurasian permafrost. Analysis indicated that greatly reduced radiation by forest shading is fundamental agent for permafrost preservation underneath northern forested slopes. Furthermore, organic- and pore-rich soil layers are also important. Such soils have been fed by fallen leaves from larch forest. This is another symbiotic system of forest and permafrost. |
