Seasonally frozen ground (SFG) and permafrost underlay approximately half of the land
surface in the Northern Hemisphere. It is anticipated that climate warming will degrade both …

The influence of seasonally frozen ground (SFG) on water, energy, and solute fluxes is
important in cold climate regions. The hydrological role of permafrost is now being actively …

The impact on the hydrologic cycle of permafrost degradation under the influence of climate
change has caused an inestimable threat to sustainable regulation of the ecosystem. This …

Snow is considered a vital component in the northern climate system, however, our
understanding of the impacts of snowmelt on spring phenological shifts is still limited for high …

Understanding the mechanisms of water migration and heat transfer in frozen soil is
essential for the selection of water resource management measures and determination of …

Vast regions of the northern hemisphere are exposed to snowfall and seasonal frost. This
has large effects on spatiotemporal distribution of infiltration and groundwater recharge …

In the Nordic countries, changes in pore structure during winter can affect eg water transport
capacity in soils after winter. A reduction in pore space can cause an increase in runoff …

Core Ideas Macropores allow water infiltration into a frozen soil close to 0° C and at high
water saturation. Connected biopores channel water beneath the frozen layer. Frozen layer …
