Effect of snow cover and soil temperature on tree and forest floor processes: a case study in mature boreal forest - Journal of Forestry Research The duration of snow cover has shortened in the boreal region, and the amount of seasonal snow decreased. This affects the coupling between soil and air temperatures and may thus lead to colder soil a...
