In a cold winter the phloem cells are damagedhow would the role of phloem be affected in this type of weather?

Sunny winter days cause the phloem cells to lose cold hardiness. Plants warm up during the day, and are susceptible to damage at night when the temperature drops. Losing cold hardiness leads to sun scald and bud and stem death.

What is transported by phloem?
Generally speaking, and I add that because there are often exceptions; however, the phloem carries products made in the leaves down the stem or trunk to be stored in roots or otherwise in the lower parts of the plant. You can remember that in the phloem, products flow downward by gravity. The leaves are the manufacturing parts of the plant. Although the phloem is carrying products down the stem or trunk all the time, in the fall of the year, the leaves stop producing sugars and the "sap" drains out of the upper parts of the plant or tree getting ready for winter. The phloem is toward the outside of the stem or trunk which is why it is possible to tap into maple trees and get yummy maple syrup.

How do Birch Trees survive in cold weather?
Birch trees are adapted to winter much like other trees. The damage normally caused by the harsh weather is mitigated most notably by the dropping of leaves. As well, they can enter a state much like hibernation in bears, changing at the cellular level and taking advantage of the energy released from freezing water to survive through the winter.

How does the weather and climate affect jobs in Ireland?
Some jobs are not affected at all. Others would be. Jobs in the agriculture industry are dependent on the right kind of weather for growing things, harvesting and other jobs that are done on farms. The transport industry can be affected by very bad weather. There was bad weather during the 2009/2010 winter and the 2010/2011 winter, which really affected all forms of transport. The winter of 2011/2012 was very good in Ireland, so the same kinds of problems did not arrive. Irish weather is unpredictable at times and you don't always get the kind of weather you need to do different things, so it is a factor in some industries. Mostly though, jobs do get done despite difficulties and delays due to weather.
