The effects of soil freeze–thaw processes on water and salt migrations in the western Songnen Plain, China

Abstract Seasonally freeze-thaw (FT) processes affect soil salinisation in cold and arid regions. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms behind soil salinisation during winter and spring is crucial for management strategies effectively alleviating this. This study aimed to explore the soil FT chara...

The spatiotemporal distributions of soil water and salt, frozen depths and soil temperatures were examined at depths of 0–200 cm in three typical landscapes (farmland, Leymus chinensis (Trin.)
