Developing a method to accurately measure soil freezing depth, suggesting implications for vegetation's role in managing surface run-off.
Measurements of depth of soil freezing are of importance in any complete consideration of vegetational influence on surface run-off. They provide a means of evaluating the relative effectiveness of vegetation in reducing or preventing soil freezing with resultant high run-off rates.To date there has been developed no satisfactory means of measuring depth of soil freezing on the scale required for adequate sampling. The following article describes a tool and method which with development to suit particular edaphic and climatic conditions, is believed to promise such asatisfactory means.
