Research Overview on Hydrological Effects of Frozen Soil

Abstract:

The hydrological effect of frozen soil is a particular hydrological phenomenon in frozen regions, which mainly performs in three aspects as following: (a) The poor permeability or impermeability of the frozen soil changes the infiltration and evapotranspiration process in soil and affects the storage and thawing process. (b) Frozen soil changes annual and inter-annual runoff variation process in a watershed. (c) Frozen soil influences and regulates the global climate. Based on the analysis of the frozen soil effects on the evaporation, infiltration and runoff in current research, this paper systematically analyzed relative researches on hydrological effects of frozen soil in recent years from environmental characteristics, data sources, research methods and major conclusions. The main conclusions are as follow: In China, research on hydrological effects of frozen soil started relatively late and developed slowly; There are few initial research on frozen soil hydrology and most research concerning which has been focused on the mechanics of frozen soil engineering rather than the discussions on hydrology; Future development of frozen soil hydrology in should be strengthened in some other aspects. Research on hydrological effects of frozen soil can lead to better understanding of this exceptional hydrological process, which has great significance on utilization of water resources and ecological environment protection in cold regions.
