Winter Ecology Course. CU Mountain Research Station . Spring 2015. Evan Franklin. Soil Temperature + Water. Water in the winter season is a major limiting nutrient for many organisms, particularly in an arid alpine environment. Snowpack plays a major role in hydrating an alpine plant community.. A.
