• Evolution of plant resistance and tolerance to frost damage (2004, background): “Although understanding the genetics of plant defence against frost continues to be a goal of breeding programs (Raymond et al. 1992; Ogren 1999; Kole et al. 2002) and molecular analyses (Artus et al. 1996; Thomashow 1999; Smallwood & Bowles 2002), relatively little is known about variation and…”
• Phenology, growth, and fecundity of eight subarctic tundra species in response to snowmelt manipulations (2010, background): “Also, the risk of spring frosts is increased, which are of special concern for early-flowering species (Molau 1997; Inouye 2000; Inouye 2008).”
• Effects of climate change on phenology, frost damage, and floral abundance of montane wildflowers. (2008, background): “One of the factors linking dates of snowmelt to flowering abundance is frost (Inouye 2000, Inouye et al. 2002).”
• Spring frost and growing season length co‐control the cold range limits of broad‐leaved trees (2014, background): “On the positive side, such extreme events may affect herbivore pressure (Inouye, 2000).”
• MAST SEEDING IN PERENNIAL PLANTS: Why, How, Where? (2002, background): “Adverse weather (e.g., frost or drought) sometimes prevents reproduction, causing synchronization of low years (Sharp & Sprague 1967,Ågren 1988, Allen & Platt 1990, Fenner 1991, Sork et al. 1993, Houle 1999, Selas 2000, Inouye 2000).”
• Advanced snowmelt causes shift towards positive neighbour interactions in a subarctic tundra community (2006, background): “subzero temperatures), or due to earlier dehardening and thus higher frost sensitivity of plants are a possible consequence of earlier snowmelt (Kimmins & Lavender, 1992; Cumming & Burton, 1996; Inouye, 2000; Gorsuch & Oberbauer, 2002).”
• Intraseasonal climate and habitat‐specific variability controls the flowering phenology of high alpine plant species (2010, background): “Strong effects of photoperiod, which protects plants from starting too early and subsequently suffering from frost damage (Inouye 2000, 2008), can be expected for plants in exposed habitats, while the timing of snowmelt should be the key factor for plant development in snowbeds.”
• Habitat-specific responses in the flowering phenology and seed set of alpine plants to climate variation: implications for global-change impacts (2005, background): “Thus, the loss of snow insulation in early season may cause a serious frost impact on the survival and reproduction of plants in the fellfield and the early-melt snowbed habitats under global warming (Inouye 2000).”
• Increase in the risk of exposure of forest and fruit trees to spring frosts at higher elevations in Switzerland over the last four decades (2018, background): “In temperate climates, the greatest risk of frost injury to herbaceous and woody plant species occurs during the period of vegetation onset in spring, and this risk appears to be a strong driver of evolution (Inouye, 2000; Vitasse et al., 2014b).”
• The Response of Terrestrial Ecosystems to Climate Variability Associated with the North Atlantic Oscillation (2013, background): “For example, the physiological consequence of formation of ice crystals in plant tissue is often plant death, or at least damage of sensitive parts that can include flower buds, ovaries and leaves [Inouye, 2000].”
• A climatic basis for microrefugia: the influence of terrain on climate (2011, background): “In particular, minimum temperature profoundly influences the life history of species due to the ecological and evolutionary impacts of freezing (Inouye, 2000).”
