Vegetation responses to snow cover removal and rainfall reduction in subalpine grasslands: Insights from a 4-year field experiment in the Spanish Pyrenees by Antonio I. Arroyo, Miguel Castillo-Garcia, Yolanda Pueyo, Concepción L. Alados

“…Reduced precipitation as well as warming may result in less snow accumulation in seasonally snow-covered areas, leading to lower minimum soil temperatures and more frequent and severe soil frosts. Therefore, plant stress is increased not only by drought in warmer months, but also by increased exposure to frost in cooler periods. …”
