Abstract
⺠A 30-year global freeze/thaw (FT) record was derived from SMMR and SSM/I records. ⺠The FT record shows an earlier/longer Northern Hemisphere non-frozen season trend. ⺠Earlier/longer non-frozen seasons promote widespread plant growth at higher latitudes. ⺠The benefits to plant growth may be offset by an opposing rise in disturbance impacts.
