MARC recordFrost upheaval of overwintering plants: a quantitative field study of the displacement process / E. Perfect, R.D. Miller, B. Burton.
| Title: | Frost upheaval of overwintering plants: a quantitative field study of the displacement process / E. Perfect, R.D. Miller, B. Burton. |
| Author(s): | Perfect, E. Miller, R. D. Burton, B. |
| Date: | 1988. |
| In: | Arctic and Alpine Research. (1988.), Vol. 20(1) (1988) |
| Abstract: | Uplift of all types of plants have been commonly ascribed to alternate freeze-thaw cycles in autumn and spring, with no consideration of seasonal heave cycle. Suggests that this is incorrect and that process of upheaval may be divided into two modes: seedlings and transplants may be uprooted by surficial soil freezing in autumn and/or spring, and well-rooted plants may be displaced by deep frost penetration during midwinter. |
| Notes: | Arctic and Alpine Research. Vol. 20(1) :70-75 (1988). |
