Cairns DM. 2001. Patterns of winter desiccation in krummholz forms of Abies lasiocarpa at treeline sites in Glacier National Park, Montana, USA. Geografiska Annaler Series A-Physical Geography. 48(4):157-168
This is a study of the amount of winter desiccation incurred by krummholz growth forms of subalpine fir at treeline locations in Glacier National Park during the winter of 1998/1999. An average of 8.68% of the krummholz canopy was lost due to desiccation.
