Аннотация:The present paper deals with the intensity of transfer in the frozen soil – snow boundary. The contribution of ice crystal surface to the ion transfer in frozen soils is considered by example of snow. The comparison is made of the intensity of fluxes of chemical elements in to snow from different sources: underlying soil, precipitation, local fluxes of soil particles due to the weathering. The role of soil is evaluated. The quantitative contribution of this process to the run-off elements from soils with thawing fluxes is estimated.
