Popis: Quantitative chemical analysis of snow cover were carried out in background territories of the southern, middle, and northern taiga of Komi Republic. The snow cover in the taiga zone of the northeastern European Russia (Komi Republic) shows low mineralization and acid pH. The acidity of melt water is caused by the predominance of strong mineral acids and deficiency of neutralizing compounds. A statistically reliable latitudinal differentiation was revealed in the distribution of macro- and microelements in the snow from the south to the north.
