Winter Conditions and Land Cover Structure the Subnivium, A Seasonal Refuge beneath the Snow.
In seasonally snow-covered environments, many organisms endure winter by using the subnivium, a below-snow thermally stable seasonal refugium. Because the insulation of snow is dependent on snow depth and density, the stability of temperatures within the subnivium varies across land cover types. Add...
