Abstract
Soil frost action on a subalpine ridge has have higher heat capacity, thermal conductivity, produced four soil horizons: 1, surface stripes; and diffusivity than do the more coarse-tex2, subsurface stripes; 3, unstriped fine ma- tured, overlying stripes. Thermal conductivity terial; and 4, undisturbed material. At a and diffusivity are higher in horizon 4 than in soil water tension of 0.1 bar (approximately 3 because of higher stone content and bulk field capacity), because of higher water content, density. horizons with a large fine fraction (3 and 4)
