Summary:Specific features of distribution of climate-forming factors in Siberia are discussed. The study area includes three regions: the West Siberian Plain, Central Siberia, and mountain systems of Southern Siberia. Climate and ecological resources (air and soil temperature, atmospheric precipitations, and snow cover) in each region are evaluated. A detailed analysis of the temperature in the soil profile to a depth of 0.8 m is performed. Vertical soil profiles are grouped according to the rate of summer heating and winter cooling. The area of Siberia is differentiated on the basis of soil temperatures. A new approach to assessing integrated climate–ecological resources of a large area is proposed. The regularities are generalized for all of Siberia.
