Tracer‐based assessment of flow paths, storage and runoff generation in northern catchments: A review
We examine how tracer studies have enhanced our understanding of flow paths, residence
times and sources of stream flow in northern catchments. We define northern catchments as …

Effects of snow cover on soil freezing, water movement, and snowmelt infiltration: A paired plot experiment
A dramatic reduction in soil frost depth has been reported for Hokkaido Island of northern
Japan over the last 20 years. Since soil frost strongly affects snowmelt infiltration and runoff …

Past and projected future changes in snowpack and soil frost at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, New Hampshire, USA
Long‐term data from the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire show that
air temperature has increased by about 1° C over the last half century. The warmer climate …

Influence of rain, air temperature, and snow cover on subsequent spring-snowmelt infiltration into thin frozen soil layer in northern Japan
In cold regions, thick frozen soil layers can significantly impede snowmelt infiltration and
thus increase runoff of spring snowmelt water. This study aimed to clarify the relationship …

Comparison of snowmelt infiltration under different soil‐freezing conditions influenced by snow cover
The depth of soil frost is decreasing in cold regions around the world as a result of climate
warming. To evaluate the potential impacts of the reduction in frost depth on the hydrologic …

Accumulation of nitrous oxide and depletion of oxygen in seasonally frozen soils in northern Japan–Snow cover manipulation experiments
It has been suggested that soil-thawing and snow-melting are critical triggers for vigorous
emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) from soils in cold regions. However, because soil freezing …
