Typical soils were analysed: tundra gleyey cryogenic soil (Pergelic Cryaquent), tundra peaty soil (Pergelic Histosot) and arctic desert soil (Pergelic Cryorthent). Research sites were located in low plains not covered with ice, near a sea, at 7—13 m a.s.l. Heat flux in soils was measured and recorded automatically every 60 s throughout a whole observation period and concurrently at three sites. In spring and summer intensive heat accumulation was observed in all examined soils. Independently on the weather, a cryogenic gleyey soil received greatest heat throughout a day. Environmental conditions have distinct influence on heat resources in soils.}, type={Article}, title={Heat flux in selected polar soils in spring and summer (Hornsund, Spitsbergen)}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/111015/PDF/1994-1-2_051-070.pdf}, keywords={Arctic, Spitsbergen, heat flux in soil, periglacial soils}, }
