Математическое моделирование температурного режима в норах малого суслика (Spermophilus pygmaeus Pallas, 1778)

Mathematical model of thermal conditions in little souslik (Spermophilus pygmaeus Pallas, 1778) burrows

Method of mammalian burrow thermal conditions calculation using thermal conductivity equation is discussed. Boundary conditions are mean month surface temperature and temperature of ther-moneutral soil layer. Results of calculation for little souslik population from Volga region are presented. Temperature at the beginning and finish of hibernation and main parameters of thermal condition during year are modeled.
