Effects of snow manipulation on larch trees in the taiga forest ecosystem in northeastern Siberia
Changes in winter precipitation (snow) may greatly affect vegetation by altering hydrological and biochemical processes. To understand the effects of changing snow cover depth and melt timing on the taiga forest ecosystem, a snow manipulation experiment ...

Natural Enemies of Alfalfa Weevil, \u3ci\u3eHypera Postica\u3c/i\u3e (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in Minnesota [PDF]
Alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica, is present throughout Minnesota. How- ever, economically damaging populations seldom occur, due to a combination of natural enemies and adverse climatic conditions.

Digging deep to open the white black box of snow root phenology [PDF]
Abstract Snow roots are specialized structures recently discovered in the Caucasian alpine snow‐bed plant Corydalis conorhiza . They form extensive networks that grow into snow packs against gravity, most probably to gather nitrogen from snow.

A random-forest-derived 35-year snow phenology record reveals climate trends in the Yukon River Basin [PDF]
This study presents a 35-year snow phenology record for the Yukon River Basin (YRB), developed using a random forest (RF) model at a 3.125 km resolution, capturing detailed trends in snowmelt onset and snow-off.

Plant phenology and seasonal nitrogen availability in Arctic snowbed communities [PDF]
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2006This study was part of the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) and examined the effects of increased winter snow depth and decreased growing season length on the phenology of four arctic plant species (

Near-surface remote sensing of spatial and temporal variation in canopy phenology [PDF]
There is a need to document how plant phenology is responding to global change factors, particularly warming trends. “Near-surface” remote sensing, using radiometric instruments or imaging sensors, has great potential to improve phenological monitoring ...
