Spatial variability of near-surface ground temperatures in a discontinuous permafrost area in Mongolia

In Central Asia, the ground thermal regime is strongly affected by the interplay between topographic factors and ecosystem properties. In this study, we investigate the governing factors of the ground thermal regime in an area in Central Mongolia, which features discontinuous permafrost and is chara...
