Impacts of frozen soils on the performance of infiltration treatment facilities
TLDR
In this paper, a developed air permeameter flow test was performed to evaluate the effect of frozen soil moisture on the performance of BMPs in cold regions by reducing available pore spaces for infiltrating water, causing a significant increase in runoff volumes.About:

Microbial community changes in TNT spiked soil bioremediation trial using biostimulation, phytoremediation and bioaugmentation
Hiie Nõlvak,Jaak Truu,Baiba Limane,Marika Truu,Guntis Cepurnieks,Vadims Bartkevics,Jaanis Juhanson,Olga Muter +7 more
TL;DR: A 28-day laboratory pot experiment was carried out applying bioaugmentation using laboratory selected bacterial strains as inoculum, biostimulation with molasses and cabbage leaf extract, and phytoremediation using rye and blue fenugreek to study the effect of these treatments on TNT removal and changes in soil microbial community responsible for contaminant degradation as discussed by the authors.

Effect of macropores on soil freezing and thawing with infiltration
Kunio Watanabe,Yuki Kugisaki +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of macropores on soil freezing and thawing with infiltration have not been well studied, and a one-directional soil-column freezing-and-thawing experiment was conducted using unsaturated sandy and silt loams with different sizes and numbers of macrophores.

Comparison of Hydraulic Conductivity in Frozen Saturated and Unfrozen Unsaturated Soils
Kunio Watanabe,Yurie Osada +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the hydraulic conductivity of frozen soils near melting temperature and compared the results with water characteristic curves and unsaturated hydraulic conductivities of the unfrozen soils determined using the evaporation method.

Bioretention cells under cold climate conditions: Effects of freezing and thawing on water infiltration, soil structure, and nutrient removal
Brenden Ding,Fereidoun Rezanezhad,Behrad Gharedaghloo,Philippe Van Cappellen,Elodie Passeport +4 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the FTCs enhanced the infiltration efficiency of the soil: with each successive cycle the drainage rate increased in the experimental column, and a key role of macro-pore formation was identified in maintaining high infiltration rates.

Freeze—thaw cycles and soil water content effects on infiltration rate of three Saskatchewan soils
TL;DR: Fouli et al. as mentioned in this paper examined the effects of freeze-thaw cycles and soil water content on the infiltration rate of three Saskatchewan soils (a clay, a loam, and a loamy sand).

Snowmelt infiltration to frozen Prairie soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the results of 5 years of study of the interaction between snowmelt infiltration (INF), snow-cover water equivalent (SWE), and soil moisture content at the time of melt (θp) for soils in the Brown and Dark Brown zones of the Canadian Prairies.

The influence of seasonally frozen soil on the snowmelt runoff at two Alpine sites in southern Switzerland
TL;DR: In this article, the spatial variability of seasonal frost depth and how much this seasonal soil frost affects the snowmelt discharge was investigated for two winter seasons (2000/2001 and 2001/2002) at Gd St Bernard (2470m) and Hannigalp (2090m) in the southern Swiss Alps.

Soil moisture redistribution and infiltration in frozen sandy soils
TL;DR: In this paper, a lysimeter experiment was set up with the aim of studying these processes in two different sandy soils, and the main problems in the simulation of the two winters were (1) frost-induced upward water redistribution, (2) rate of infiltration in the initially air-filled pores, and (3) heat transfer caused by snowmelt refreezing in the frozen soil.

Estimating snowmelt infiltration into frozen soils
Litong Zhao,D. M. Gray +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a general parametric correlation for estimating snowmelt infiltration into frozen soils is developed using the results from a numerical model, HAWTS, which includes a set of partial differential equations that describe water and heat transport with phase changes in frozen soils.

Snowmelt infiltration into seasonally frozen soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the redistribution of moisture that occurs over the winter season for Fairbanks silt loam and evaluated how the infiltration rate is related to the moisture content (water and ice).
