How can Gastrodia elata in the Changbai Mountains of Jilin be protected from frost damage in years with little snow?
Wild Gastrodia elata in the Changbai Mountains of Jilin is mostly distributed in high-mountain broad-leaved mixed forests at an altitude of 500-2500 m with cool and humid summers, deep winter snow cover, high ground coverage, a thick layer of fallen branches and leaves, a relatively shallow frozen layer, and loose soil. Wild Gastrodia elata suffers frost damage in winters with little snowfall and a thick frozen layer, and cultivated Gastrodia elata also suffers frost damage when cold-protection measures are inadequate. In both 1981 and 1982, heavy snow sealed the ground, with winter snow 80 cm thick; when the snow was broken open, the frozen layer on the ground was found to be only 3 cm, so neither wild nor cultivated
