The Influence Mechanism of Freeze-Thaw on Soil Erosion: A Review

As an important type of soil erosion, freeze-thaw erosion occurs primarily at high latitude and altitude. The overview on the effect was provided. Soil affected by processes, as thawing water reinforce each other. Remote sensing provided unprecedented approach for characterizing timing, magnitude, patterns large-scale changes. Furthermore, essence freeze thaw moisture in pores soil. Freeze-thaw action mainly increased erodibility made it more vulnerable to destroying structure, changing content, bulk density, shear strength aggregate stability, etc. However, magnitude changes properties have been related texture, experimental conditions degree exposure freeze-thaw. use indoor field experiments further reveal would facilitate improved forecasting, well prevention during regions with cycles.
