Abstract
Needle ice, a form of columnar, near-surface, ice segregation in soils, is increasingly becoming recognized as an important factor in vegetation destruction, soil erosion, frost sorting, and periglacial landform development in both cold and temperate regions. With the resultant surge in multidisciplinary interest, the reporting of needle ice research is scattered through the geological, geomorphological, botanical, ecological, agricultural, pedological and engineering literature. This paper collects together all this work into a 267-item bibliography, spanning the period 1824–1988. A detailed regional-systematic index is supplied to ease access to those items of most relevance to a particular need. A call for further references is issued, and comments on terminology are made.
