摘要：Holocene periods of enhanced solifluction offer new
paleoclimatic information. Long-term observations of
present solifluction variability and process studies on
movement mechanisms, as well as model simulations
of the soil heat and water regimes, show the dependence of solifluction on ground freezing. The annual
variability of both processes is strongly controlled by
weather and resulting snow conditions immediately
before and at the beginning of the winter frost period.
Simulated long-term variations during different paleoclimatic scenarios are regulated by both mean preeipitation and temperature changes. Quantitative reconstruetion
of Holocene preeipitation during maximum
altitudinal depression of solifluction is shown.
