Impact of frost temperature and moisture content on frost damage to ceramic bricks [PDF]
Reliable knowledge on how frost deteriorates building materials is necessary when assessing the hygrothermal performances of building facades. Unfortunately, the current frost-thaw testing methods do not offer dependable knowledge, as they only test at ...

Evaluation of Frost Damage and Pod Set in Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) under Field Conditions [PDF]
Frost is one factor that causes extensive yield losses globally. A study was conducted to evaluate frost damage under field conditions and assess the genetic variation of flowers converting into pods. Diverse faba bean genotypes were evaluated under four

Frost Damage in Unsaturated Porous Media [PDF]
Frost damage in porous materials is a weathering mechanism that can cause dangerous rockfalls or damage to built cultural heritage. The volume expansion of 9% when water freezes can be one of the cause of frost damage. This does not, however, explain why partially saturated porous stones also show damage despite the fact that ice should have room to ...

Frost Damage in Tight Sandstone: Experimental Evaluation and Interpretation of Damage Mechanisms. [PDF]
Low-porosity tight rocks are widely used as building and engineering materials. The freeze–thaw cycle is a common weathering effect that damages building materials in cold climates. Tight rocks are generally supposed to be highly frost-resistant; thus, studies on frost damage in tight sandstone are rare. In this study, we investigated the deterioration

The Late Orchid Catches the Bee: Frost Damage and Pollination Success in the Face of Global Warming in a European Terrestrial Orchid [PDF]
Global warming changes flowering times of many plant species, with potential impacts on frost damage and their synchronization with pollinator activity. These effects can have severe impacts on plant fitness, yet we know little about how frequently they ...

Continuous frost causes a greater reduction in forest growth than isolated frost in the Northern Hemisphere [PDF]
Frost events can cause severe and often irreversible damage to leaves and canopies. The negative impacts of isolated frost events, defined as discontinuous days of extreme cold, on forests are well documented.

Frost Damage Increased by the Windbreak
A large orchard of satsuma mandarin located nearest the sea coast of the southern end of Kyushu was completely destroyed by the early frost on the two successive nights in November, 1968. The orchard of 72 hectare area in an artificially flattened dune, 5m above sea level, is divided into 60 rectangular sections; each section, 100m wide and 120m long ...
