Climate change in the Ak-Shiyrak massive area and its impact on glaciers by Yu. A. Podrezova, I. A. Pavlova

“…These climate changes were compared with decrease of the glaciation param‑ eters in the Ak-Shyirak massive for 1943–1976 and 1977–2003 periods, in particular, area (ΔS), height of the glacier surfaces (ΔH), and their volumes (ΔV). By the second period, the rate of decreasing of these param‑ eters had grown by the factor 1.5–2, while the temperature changes according to the above trends increased, on the average for a year, by factor 2.7, and the change in precipitation decreased by 20%.…”

“…Furthermore, partial least squares path models (PLS-PM) showed that the RL density (RLD) directly influenced SOM (path coefficient 0.70) and root-free cohesive force (RFCF) (path coefficient 0.30), which subsequently affected the MWD, with additional direct RLD effects on the SOM (path coefficient 0.45) and MWD (path coefficient 0.64) in the surface soil. Cohesive force in rubber plants of different ages increased macroaggregates (<span class="inline-formula">&gt;0.25 mm</span>) and decreased microaggregates (<span class="inline-formula">&lt;0.25 mm</span>), with topsoil average MWD following the order control (CK) (<span class="inline-formula">0.98 mm</span>) <span class="inline-formula">&lt;</span> 5Y_RF (1.26 mm) <span class="inline-formula">&lt;</span> mixed forest (MF; 1.31 mm) <span class="inline-formula">&lt;</span> 11Y_RF (1.36 mm) <span class="inline-formula">&lt;</span> 27Y_RF (1.48 mm) <span class="inline-formula">&lt;</span> 20Y_RF (1.51 mm). …”
