Hofmann1, G. Preuss2 and C. Mätzler31 Institute of Bio- and Geosciences, Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany2 57555 Brachbach, Germany3 Institute of Applied Physics, University of Bern, SwitzerlandAn unusual ice type, called hair ice, grows on the surface of dead wood of broad-leaf trees at temperatures slightly below 0°C. We describe this phenomenon and present physical, chemical, and biological investigations to gain insight in the properties and processes related to hair ice. Tests revealed that the biological activity of a winter-active fungus is required in the wood for enabling the growth of hair ice. We confirmed the fungus hypothesis originally suggested by Wegener (1918) by reproducing hair ice on wood samples. Treatment by heat and fungicide, respectively, suppresses the formation of hair ice. Fruiting bodies of Asco- and Basidiomycota are identified on hair-ice carrying wood. One species, Exidiopsis effusa (Ee), has been present on all investigated samples. Both hair-ice producing wood samples and those with killed fungus show essentially the same temperature variation, indicating that the heat produced by fungal metabolism is very small, that the freezing rate is not influenced by the fungus activity and that ice segregation is the common mechanism of ice growth at the wood surface. The fungus plays the role of shaping the ice hairs and to prevent them from recrystallisation. Melted hair ice indicates the presence of organic matter. Chemical analyses show a complex mixture of several thousand CHO(N,S)-compounds similar to fulvic acids in dissolved organic matter (DOM). The evaluation reveals decomposed lignin as the main constituent. Further work is needed to clarify its role in hair-ice growth and to identify the recrystallisation inhibitor. 000202873 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-255$$a255 - Terrestrial Systems: From Observation to Prediction (POF3-255)$$cPOF3-255$$fPOF III$$x0 000202873 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef 000202873 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aPreuss, G.$$b1 000202873 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aMätzler, C.$$b2 000202873 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2158181-2$$a10.5194/bg-12-4261-2015$$gVol. 12, no. 14, p. 4261 - 4273$$n14$$p4261 - 4273$$tBiogeosciences$$v12$$x1726-4189$$y2015 000202873 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/202873/files/bg-12-4261-2015.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000202873 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/202873/files/bg-12-4261-2015.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yOpenAccess 000202873 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/202873/files/bg-12-4261-2015.jpg?subformat=icon-1440$$xicon-1440$$yOpenAccess 000202873 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/202873/files/bg-12-4261-2015.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yOpenAccess 000202873 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/202873/files/bg-12-4261-2015.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yOpenAccess 000202873 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/202873/files/bg-12-4261-2015.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yOpenAccess 000202873 8767_ $$92015-07-01$$d2015-07-01$$eAPC$$jZahlung erfolgt$$pbg-2015-11 000202873 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:202873$$popenCost$$pVDB$$pVDB:Earth_Environment$$pdriver$$pOpenAPC$$popen_access$$popenaire$$pdnbdelivery 000202873 9141_ $$y2015 000202873 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY3$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 3.0 000202873 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000202873 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews 000202873 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1040$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bZoological Record 000202873 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bBIOGEOSCIENCES : 2013 000202873 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences 000202873 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0500$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ 000202873 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000202873 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000202873 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5 000202873 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000202873 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1060$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Agriculture, Biology and Environmental Sciences 000202873 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0310$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bNCBI Molecular Biology Database 000202873 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000202873 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bThomson Reuters Master Journal List 000202873 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$60000-0001-6491-4299$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b0$$kFZJ 000202873 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-255$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-250$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-200$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bErde und Umwelt$$lTerrestrische Umwelt$$vTerrestrial Systems: From Observation to Prediction$$x0 000202873 920__ $$lyes 000202873 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)IBG-3-20101118$$kIBG-3$$lAgrosphäre$$x0 000202873 9801_ $$aFullTexts 000202873 980__ $$ajournal 000202873 980__ $$aVDB 000202873 980__ $$aFullTexts 000202873 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000202873 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IBG-3-20101118 000202873 980__ $$aAPC
