“…The work by Edwards and Burney (1989) clearly showed the experimental difficulties associated with this general subject area. After thawing, continuously frozen soil profiles gave much greater sediment and runoff values than the equivalent profiles subjected to alternate freeze/thaw cycles.…”

“…With time and conditions favoring evaporation and drainage, soil strength and erosion resistance increase (Formanek et al, 1983). Edwards and Burney (1989) compared the extent of soil loss and runoff from freeze/thaw soil with and without subsoil compaction and ground cover. Soil compaction resulted in a 45% increase in sediment loss, compared with that from noncompacted controls.…”

“…In early spring, partially melted frozen soils are subject to accelerated water erosion. In the United States, about 4.2 million km^ of agricultural lands are affected by soil freezing and thawing (Formanek et al, 1984), with similar problems reported in Norway, Canada, and Japan (Edwards and Burney, 1989;Lundekvam and Skoien, 1998;Mizoguchi and Yabukl, 2002).…”

In this study, artificial rainfall was applied to a partially frozen Andisol soil, and the effects of the subsoil's physical conditions, prefreeze moisture condition, and soil compaction on surface runoff and soil loss were studied. The soil, an Andisol from a mountainous region of Japan, was packed into a plastic box to a thickness of 0.08 m to attain a predetermined moisture condition and dry bulk density, then stored in a freezer at −30°C overnight to create a sample representative of frozen subsoil. Twenty millimeters of unfrozen soil were added on top of the frozen subsoil to simulate a thawing surface layer. During the simulated rainfall (42 mm h−1) experiment, surface runoff, soil loss, and seepage from outlets at the front wall of the downslope end of the box were sampled periodically. In the early stage of rainfall, the impermeable frozen subsoil increased surface runoff and soil loss, and seepage occurred at the downslope end of the box, indicating saturation of the near‐surface, unfrozen soil. During the early stage of the rainfall, soil loss was particularly greater than during the latter half of the rainfall experiment although both showed a similar surface runoff rate. Saturation of the near‐surface soil was the reason for the greater soil loss rate, while a surface seal restricted soil loss by surface runoff during the latter half of the rainfall experiment.

Edwards, L. M. and Burney, J. R. 2007. Effect of cover crop seeding rate and date on cool period soil erosion control in potato production in PEI, Canada. Can. J. Plant Sci. 87: 851-854. A cool-period field experiment was conducted to assess the effect of rate and date of seeding winter rye on soil erosion amounts at varying slopes. The lower seeding rate (provincially recommended) was ineffective in reducing sediment loss at any slope. The higher seeding rate showed overall superiority but only on the basis of the earliest (provincially recommended) seeding date.Key words: Rye cover (winter), potato production (intensive), crop rotation, erosion (water), erosion (snowmelt) Edwards, L. et Burney, J. 2007. Incidence de la densité des semis de culture-abri et de la date des semis sur la lutte contre l'érosion du sol en hiver dans les champs de pommes de terre de l'Î.-P.-É., au Canada. Can. J. Plant Sci. 87: 851-854. Les auteurs ont effectué une expérience durant la saison froide afin d'évaluer l'incidence de la date et de la densité des semis de seigle d'hiver sur l'érosion du sol à déclivité variable. La densité des semis la plus faible (recommandée par la province) ne réduit pas la perte de sédiments, peu importe l'importance de la pente. La densité la plus élevée donne de meilleurs résultats, mais uniquement à la date des semis la plus précoce (recommandée par la province).Mots clés: Culture-abri de seigle (d'hiver), culture intensive de la pomme de terre, assolement, érosion hydrique, érosion (fonte des neiges)

The Effect of Antecedent Freeze-Thaw Frequency on Runoff and Soil Loss From Frozen Soil With and Without Subsoil Compaction and Ground Cover

Abstract: Fig. 2. The coefficient of determination (r') was 0.82 and, as indicated, residual dispersion was independent of runoff volume.
