Freezing Resistance of Broad-Leaved Evergreen Trees in the Warm-Temperate Zone
@inproceedings{Sakai1981FreezingRO, title={Freezing Resistance of Broad-Leaved Evergreen Trees in the Warm-Temperate Zone}, author={Akira Sakai}, year={1981} }
Maximal resistance to winter freezing of broad-leaved evergreen trees of the northern and southern warm-temperate zones was assessed. Most of the evergreen species of the northern warm-temperate zone survived freezing to between -10 and -15°C. Camellia japonica, Euonymus jaj)onicum, Daphnij)hyllum macropodum, Photinia serrulata (Japan), Ilex aquifolium (Europe), Ilex opaca (United States) and Magnolia grandiflora were the hardiest, resisting freezing to between -18 and 20°C. Of the South…

The seasonal frost hardiness of several ornamental species was evaluated by exposing intact plants to controlled advective frost conditions in spring, midsummer, autumn, and midwinter, with generally, evergreen broad-leaved species from northern zones were more tolerant than Australasian species.

The fossil record suggests that the morphologic differences between the plants that contribute to these forests are the result of their independent evolution on opposite sides of the tropical rainforest belt during Cretaceous and later times, but evidence provided by plants living in environments where gradual gradients can now be observed between the evergreen and the deciduous habit is sought.

Winter minimal temperatures are among the important factors setting the northern boundaries of the natural ranges of many forest tree species, however, Populus deltoides and Salix nigra from locations with temperate or moderate winter climates survived freezing to at least —50 degrees C irrespective to their native habitats.

In 1966—67 in the eastern part of Hokkaido, where severe cold weather and a dry state prevailed throughout the winter, most young conifers, especially those wintering on the southern slopes, were seriously damaged and browning was observed on the stem bark in most damaged trees.

The greater the effectiveness of the hardening treatment, the greater the rate of conversion from starch to sugar, and the frost hardiness of a twig is closely related to the sugar content of the twig, especially in the xylem.
