Outline of Final Research Achievements

Permafrost plays an important roles for sustaining local ecosystem service since it produces water rich soils, allowing forest growth and river discharges even under the arid climatic conditions. We created high resolutive permafrost maps over Mongolia, and reconstructed transition of spring water since 1960s. The permafrost distribution was modelled with transient heat conduction and statistical-stochastic ways. The past and present states of spring activities were investigated by government maps published in 1960s, satellite images, and field surveys.
Validation with deep ground temperature at multiple points showed good agreement between modelled distribution and the observations. However, they disagreed over the southern limit permafrost with ground temperature close to 0 degree. These regions overlap well with the regions experiencing significant degradation of spring water. Further researches i.e., model improvement, increasing the number of field evidences are required.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

学術的意義:寒冷圏陸域で顕在化する環境変動の重要因子のひとつが地下に偏在する永久凍土の動態である。しかし地下に潜在し高い空間不均質性を伴う永久凍土の動態を明示的に探究した例は少ない。本研究の学術的意義は、極めて高密度に展開された永久凍土観測結果をもとに従来にない高解像度・高精度で永久凍土の分布を明示し、それと地上での環境変化との関連を探究することである。
社会的意義:永久凍土地帯では永久凍土によって支えられた地域生態系資源に依存する地域社会が成立している。特に半乾燥域のモンゴルでは、不連続に分布する永久凍土が不連続な湿潤土壌環境と森林・湧水を成立させているため、本研究は高い社会的意義を有する。
