Sentence examples for soils frozen from inspiring English sources

Areas with a mean annual temperature below freezing are susceptible to the formation of permafrost soils (frozen ground; see below Soils).

Compared with unfrozen soils, frozen soil has the most important characteristic under natural conditions its matrix, which is composed of ice and water, changes continuously with varying temperature, which implies the mechanical properties of frozen soil are dependent on temperature.

Field monitoring data provide evidence of excessive vibration on the wind turbines founded in warm permafrost (referring to soils frozen for more than two consecutive years with a temperature close to its melting point), which was attributed to resonance between the rotor and the tower-foundation system.

The model represents snow redistribution and sublimation by wind and vegetation, snowmelt energy budget, evapotranspiration, subsurface flow through organic terrain, infiltration to frozen soils, freezing and thawing of soils, permafrost and streamflow routing.

They also found that the dry soils freeze faster and deeper than moist ones.

These are formed of groundwater that accumulates between the layers of permafrost (soil frozen permanently) over many years and layers of seasonally frozen soil.

Much sunscald injury can be avoided by watering plants thoroughly in dry autumns before the soil freezes and applying a mulch to keep the soil frozen until spring, when full-scale plant activity resumes and roots can provide the moisture the top growth requires.

In Tuesday's Geophysical Research Letters, Dartnell and colleagues describe how they calculated radiation exposures for three typical Martian surface configurations: dry soil, frozen soil containing layered permafrost, and ice.

By analyzing other studies, it was found that the fracture toughness and tensile strength of many geomaterials such as cohesive soil, frozen soil, soft rock and hard rock are also linearly correlated.

The soil frozen processes had a beneficial effect on soil water conservation with reduced evaporation and seepage, and high water content maintained, which could be useful for plant germination in the following spring.

Having been sent up the field to lift leeks for an order on Christmas Eve, I can confirm that it's sensible to harvest in batches before the soil freezes solid, heeling the plants into a sheltered, unfrozen spot in the garden.
