A differential frost heave model: cryoturbation-vegetation interactions
We used field observations of frost-boil distribution, soils, and vegetation to attempt to validate the predictions of a Differential Frost Heave (DFH) model along the temperature gradient in northern Alaska. The model successfully predicts order of magnitude heave and spacing of frost boils, and can account for the circular motion of soils within frost boils. Modification of the model is neede...
متن کاملFrost-Boil Ecosystems: Complex Interactions between Landforms, Soils, Vegetation and Climate
Frost boils in northern Alaska vary from large, 2–3-m diameter, barren non-sorted circles to completely vegetated hummocks. Summer warmth increases southwards from the coast. Average thaw-layer thickness shows the opposite trend. Frost heave shows no trend along the climate gradient but is affected by soil texture. Heave is greatest on frost boils with fine-grained sediments. Biomass increases ...
متن کاملFrost heave
The deformation of the ground surface that is produced by frost heave has motivated almost a century of concerted laboratory, field and theoretical studies. Well before the development of equipment capable of resolving the microscopic films that support liquid transport towards growing ice lenses, early investigators predicted their occurrence and noted their importance. Idealized experiments c...
متن کاملUremic frost
Full blown uremic syndrome of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is seldom seen these days due to early initiation of renal replacement therapies (RRT) [1, 2]. Uremic frost is a manifestation of advanced CKD but rarely seen due to effective RRT. We came across a 21-year-old male patient, brought to us with complaints of nausea, anorexia, oliguria and recent onset alteration in sensorium. On physical ...
