Abstract
The results of long-term monitoring of soil temperature regime at Bakchar district (Tomsk region) located in the southern taiga zone of Western Siberia are presented. The temperature regimes of peat and mineral soils are compared; their difference is shown. Peat soil has a smoothed temperature dynamics compared to mineral soil. According to monthly average data, in the warm season, the upper 80 cm of peat soil is 57 C colder than the mineral soil and 0.31.0 C warmer in the cold season. The increased thermal inertia of the peat soil prevents both its heating and cooling.
