Abstract

The authors review variations in seasonal climatic rhythms of the vegetative period on the West Siberian Plain and summarize the results of an earlier spatial‐temporal analysis of the distribution of types of climatic rhythms (Okisheva and Filandysheva, 1994). The present paper seeks to describe in additional detail the principal types of climatic rhythms of the vegetative period of the West Siberian Plain, with particular emphasis on a number of tundra and taiga subregions, to identify the factors responsible for their formation and to assess the impact of changes in climatic rhythms on the conditions of development and productivity of natural and agricultural vegetation.
