Shifting Climate, Altered Niche, and a Dynamic Conservation Strategy for Yellow-Cedar in the North Pacific Coastal Rainforest (2012, background): “The proposed decline mechanism was more directly tested by examining the influence of simulated snow cover on the cold tolerance and freezing injury of yellow-cedar seedlings (Schaberg et al. 2008).”
Climate change and plant regeneration from seed (2011, background): “One of the more publicized aspects of climate change is premature melting of snow and ice and decrease in snow cover (IPCC, 2007; McCabe & Wolock, 2010) impacting frost penetration, melt-water, and thermal protection for seedlings (Oke, 1987; Schaberg et al., 1996, 2008).”
Impacts of multiple extreme winter warming events on sub‐Arctic heathland: phenology, reproduction, growth, and CO2 flux responses (2011, background): “…responses to winter warming events The considerable reductions in root growth supported our hypothesis that the colder soil temperatures and freeze–thaw events following the winter warming events would negatively impact root productivity (Jonasson & Callaghan, 1992; Schaberg et al., 2008).”
Climate change and forest diseases (2011, background): “However, roots deharden quickly in late winter and early spring, when soil temperatures below )5 C are lethal (Schaberg et al., 2008).”
