A simple model for predicting soil temperature in snow-covered and seasonally frozen soil: model description and testing
Microbial processes in soil are moisture, nutrient and temperature dependent and, consequently, accurate calculation of soil temperature is important for modelling nitrogen processes. Microbial activity in soil occurs even at sub-zero temperatures so that, in northern latitudes, a method to ca...
