Rising temperatures that reduce snow cover leave soils vulnerable to frost, reducing silicon uptake by trees, with potential effects on downstream ecosystems.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
The rich diversity of trees at arboreta may allow scientists to home in on the specific traits that allow trees to grow faster or slower in response to warming temperatures.Read More »Biogeosciences
New research provides evidence that plants that flower earlier in the year because of climate warming experience more frost damage and have less reproductive success.Read More »Biogeosciences
Alfred Wegener, of plate tectonics fame, proposed a link nearly 100 years ago between fungi and "hair ice" on dead wood. A new study has identified the fungus and how it may influence ice structure.Read More »Biogeosciences
