| Title: | Thermal environments of Arctic soil organisms during winter / S.J. Coulson, and six others. |
| Author(s): | Coulson, S. J. |
| Date: | 1995. |
| In: | Arctic and Alpine Research. (1995.), Vol. 27(4) (1995) |
| Abstract: | Soil temperature at five High Arctic sites and one sub-Arctic site was compared in 1992/93 and 1993/94. At High Arctic sites sonw cover afforded slight insulation where minimum air temperatures were as low as -32°C. However, snow did not accumulate significantly until late winter, by which time ground had cooled to about -20°C. Polar night aided cooling. Temperatures at 3 and 10 cm were recorded. Soil organisms may be inactive up to 289 days per year. |
