∙ 9y agoConcentrated sodium (Na), a component of salt, can damage plant tissue whether it contacts above or below ground parts. High salinity can reduce plant growth and may even cause plant death. When the road is salted some of that salt can be sprayed onto the grass. The contact with the salt itself doesn't kill the grass. What happens is the salt dissolves into the water from the snow or from a rainfall afterwards and moves into the soil. The water then evaporates up or gets pulled up by the grass, but the salt stays. The grass actually uses a salt gradient inside it to pull the water into it through the roots (osmosis) but when the salt becomes too concentrated in the soil from all that road salt, that process can't work and so the grass dies from dehydration. It's the same thing that happens when people drink too much sea water.

∙ 14y agoSalt accumulation from winter deicing can damage the root system of grass, leading to browning and eventually death in summer. The salt prevents the grass from absorbing essential nutrients and water, making it more susceptible to stress and drought. To prevent this, it's important to limit salt use or use alternative deicing methods in winter and to irrigate the affected area to dilute the salt accumulation in the soil.

The answer to the riddle is a snowman. Snowmen are built during the winter season when there is snow, and they "die" or melt away during the summer when the weather is warmer.
Red oat grass generally grows faster in summer as it prefers warm temperatures. In winter, growth may slow down due to colder weather and reduced sunlight.
Salting the sidewalk in winter can cause damage to plants by increasing soil salinity, which can prevent plants from taking up water and nutrients, leading to dehydration and nutrient deficiency. The excess salt can also accumulate in the soil, disrupting the balance of ions and pH levels, further impacting plant health. Additionally, the salt runoff from melting snow can leach into the soil and harm nearby plants.
The chaparral biome typically experiences two main seasons: a hot, dry summer and a cool, wet winter. This biome is characterized by its Mediterranean climate with distinct wet and dry periods throughout the year.
You would find this organism in the taiga biome. In winter, its white coat helps with camouflage against the snow, while the light brown coat in summer provides camouflage against the forest floor's colors. This adaptability is essential for survival in changing seasons of the taiga biome.
No. this is a winter road only, the Christina river freezes over in winter, there is no bridge for summer travel and deep muskeg.
Expansion joints in sidewalks are designed to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of the concrete due to temperature changes. In the summer, the concrete expands with the heat, causing the joints to narrow. In winter, when the concrete contracts in the cold, the joints widen to prevent cracking and damage to the sidewalk.
I get about 22 in winter and 24-25 in summer. About 75-80% highway.
Such things do not exist.
The Black Death disappeared in winter because the whole plague came from infected fleas, and in the winter, fleas are dormant, so the fleas couldn't bite people to spread the disease. However, in the summer, fleas are not dormant, so they continue to spread the Black Death to people. This is ironic because most sicknesses are worse in the winter than in the summer.
Germs do breed faster in warmer climates. However, swine flu is just as likely to spread in summer as it is in winter.
No, you're not since the sidewalk is technically not your property. The city where you live is the one responsible for clearing and/or placing salt on the sidewalk to prevent ice.
