Abstract
The article analyses the indicators of snow cover for the cold season of 2022-2023, formed under the conditions of different natural and anthropogenic ecosystems in Moscow. A comparative assessment of the main characteristics of the snow cover (height, density and water reserves in the snow) is given on the example of the forest system and the agro-ecosystem. It was found that the processes of snow accumulation and distribution, as well as its characteristics, are significantly influenced by the presence and species composition of vegetation, temperature and wind regime, insolation, meso- and micro-relief. Snow cover formed in forested areas is characterized by maximum height, lower density and better soil insulation compared to open areas.
