MARC recordPhysical properties of snow / J.W. Pomeroy, E. Brun.
| Title: | Physical properties of snow / J.W. Pomeroy, E. Brun. |
| Author(s): | Pomeroy, J. W. Brun, E. |
| Date: | 2001. |
| Publisher: | Cambridge: Cambridge University Press |
| In: | Snow ecology : an interdisciplinary examination of snow-covered ecosystems. (2001.), |
| Abstract: | Discusses physical properties of snow as habitat and regulator of snow ecosystems, transmitting and modifying interactions between micro-organisms, plants, animals, nutrients, atmosphere and soil. Snow acts as energy bank, radiation shield, insulator, water reservoir and transport medium. Includes influence of seasonal differences and wind redistribution on vegetation and therefore animals. Describes physical composition of snow structures. |
