Abstract

Freezing and thawing of soils is a common phenomenon in the winter-cold zone, which can subsequently affect carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in soils and the leaching of nutrients through influencing biochemical and physicochemical processes. The soil solution nutrient pool in the freeze–thaw period may control the quantity of nutrients available to plants in the following spring (Buckeridge and Grogan 2008).
