Study of the properties, classification, and woodland site quality for high elevation soils in western Virginia
… of soil temperature data indicates the mesic-frigid boundary occurs at approximately 1200 m. This boundary is not absolute, and allows for adjustments as appropriate. Available climatic data shows precipitation generally increases with increased elevation. This coupled with lower mean monthly …

Soil Organic Carbon Variability by Aspect and Slope in the High Elevation Soils of the Southwest Virginia Mountains
… is available on carbon(C)sequestered in frigid Appalachian forest soils. However,the cool moist forests of the high elevations probably hold more C than any other mineral soils in Virginia. The objectives of the study were to determine the amount and variability of soil C across aspect …

Organic carbon and fertility of forest soils on the Allegheny Plateau of West Virginia
… series sampled (established and tentative) are frigid, well and moderately-well drained inceptisols and spodosols, covered by northern hardwood or spuce-dominated forests. The purpose of the work was to document soil organic carbon (SOC), vegetative organic carbon (VOC), and soil microbial …

Comparative antifreeze trait analyses of Antarctic and temperate sister species pairs shed light on tempo of adaptive trait loss under relaxed selection
… time several lineages have escaped the isolated frigid Southern Ocean to north of the Antarctic Polar Front and successfully colonized temperate sub-Antarctic waters. This study investigates the predicted reduction or loss of the prior adaptive AFGP trait in select secondarily temperate …

Creating sense from non-sense DNA: de novo genesis and evolutionary history of antifreeze glycoprotein gene in northern cod fishes (gadidae)
… inoculative freezing by environmental ice in frigid Arctic and sub-Arctic waters. AFGPs protect the fish from freezing death by binding to ice crystals and arresting ice growth within the fish. How and from where this important new genetic trait evolved in the gadid genome remained unknown, as …
