Abstract

Climate is the main determinant of ecosystem conditions in a region. For many years, research has focused on the effects of climate factors such as water and heat on ecosystems, whereas research on the effects of freeze–thaw on ecosystems is relatively rare. Freeze–thaw is an abiotic stress applied to soils and is a natural process in medium and high latitudes. Freeze–thaw can change soil physical and chemical properties, and therefore affect the circulation and loss of nutrients in soils. In recent years, although some studies have investigated freeze–thaw effects on soil physical and chemical properties, most have focused on agricultural soils or forest soils, while little attention has been paid to the effects of freeze–thaw on carbon and nitrogen accumulation and release in wetland soils.
