Assessment of moisture reserves and frequency of soil droughts on the territory of Belarusian Polesye during theperiod of modern climate warming
The features of modern climate changes in Belarusian Polesia for 1989-2018 are estimated. An assessment of the moistening of the territory of Belarusian Polesia is given according to the main moistening criteria: precipitation, moisture coefficient of Selyaninov’s GTK, moisture reserves. The reserves of productive moisture in the 0-20 cm layer on permanent sites with sod-podzolic soil types of different textures of Belarusian Polesia were estimated according to the data of the points of the state network of hydrometeorological observations. The duration of soil droughts and the recurrence of years with soil droughts for decades and months is estimated.
