Several quantifiable parameters in 30 soils on dune crests in east-central lower Michigan are measured. The sites lie within 3 distinct dune fields (10 in each) scattered throughout the region. The aim of this study was to determine whether

This study uses a hydrologic/soil-temperature model to examine patterns of winter soil temperatures across southern Michigan, and in so doing sheds light on the meteorologic variables that affect soil freezing. Spatial patterns of soil freezing were
