Abstract

Natural conditions are important, constantly acting factors in the territorial organization of agriculture, which affect the efficiency of production. Among those, climate is the primary and most important factor. This paper deals with the spatio-temporal variability of the thermal regime and moistening conditions of the Kulunda steppe as an element of the South Siberian agro-steppe within the Eurasian steppe belt of the forest steppe and steppe natural zones. Interannual variability of climate has a great impact on agriculture. Better understanding and taking into account the factors of climate variability allows solving problems related to climate change. Reducing the vulnerability of various sectors, such as biodiversity, forestry and agriculture, to climate variability by raising awareness of policy, work methods and technology choices will in many cases reduce the long-term vulnerability of these systems to climate change.
